Mali Safi: The Art of the Hustle

21st March 2026

"Mali safi!"

It’s the rhythm of the streets, the melodic call of the vendor, and the heartbeat of our markets. In this stunning new series, Patrick Mukabi captures the high-energy choreography of the Kenyan marketplace—the persuasive gestures, the colorful displays, and the relentless spirit of the hustle.

Curated by Njeri Njenga, this exhibition strips away the chaos to reveal the beauty in the transaction. It is a tribute to the people who turn the pavement into a stage and everyday trade into a symphony of human connection.

Come join us as we unveil and enjoy this works.

We are delighted to present a new solo exhibition by Rahab Shine. Her journey as an artist began in 1990 after meeting Shine Tani. The two later founded Banana Hill Art Gallery, a place that has welcomed artists and art lovers for many years.

Rahab works with a clear sense of observation. She paints landscapes as they appear today, holding on to scenes that are slowly shifting with constant development. Her pieces carry a quiet sense of care for places that deserve to be remembered.
