    9 Art Exhibitions in 9 months of 2022 in Nairobi, Kenya

    If you were to give one guess, how many art exhibitions do you think happened this year? In 2022, I have been to over 15 art exhibitions in various locations in Nairobi, Kenya and that isn't even half of them. I guess you can say being surrounded by art is becoming more of a lifestyle thing for me. One of my highlights was going to opening days and interacting with the artists. I enjoy learning about the process of how an art piece came to be from the artists themselves. On today's episode, which is the final episode of 2022 and season 1, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my experiences at art galleries this year. If you have been to any of the exhibitions mentioned, please let me know what your experience was in my DMs. Enjoy! The uncurated community was started this year in February to create a space for visual artists and designers in Kenya to come and share their stories and inspire others. We managed to have 18 artists & designers come and graciously share their come-up stories with us. This was so amazing! Thank you to everyone who subscribed, listened, and gave me feedback. I am looking forward to growing the community in 2023.  *Follow Uncutared podcast on IG* https://www.instagram.com/uncurated.podcast/
