East African Masters

This year we have chosen to focus on the older generation with a presentation of four artists from Kenya, Sudan and Uganda. These artists, whilst they are well known in their home countries, have had little or no international recognition. Born in the 1940’s and 1950’s and practicing in newly independent countries, the social, political and cultural environments of the time inspired their work and lives. They have all gone on to influence generations of East African artists and deserve to be recognised and celebrated internationally.
