Partnership to Create Murals around Nairobi

Creating a city full of murals that explore artistic experimentation and expression that connect to people’s hearts and where artists and the public feel that they are part of something that will positively change the city.

We are partnering with local artists, Nairobi Metropolitan Services (NMS), the Safer Nairobi Initiative, the Nairobi City Council, and the GoDown Arts to help beautify Nairobi with colorful murals to showcase the vibrancy and creativity of the city. The partnership is called #ALAAA! – the sound of astonishment that people will make when they come across the amazing works of art around the city.

On Saturday, 8 May 2021, and Sunday, 9 May 2021 several artists came together on the Moi Avenue Primary School perimeter wall on the globe roundabout side to create a mural. The theme of the piece is the art and vitality of the streets of Nairobi and feature work by artists Allan “Think” Kioko, Michael Nyerere, Solomon “Solo” Luvai, Rose Ahono, Collins Odour, Leevans Linyerere, and Wilson Matunda. Here are some pictures…
