Join us at Munyu for an open studio w/ artist, Shilpi Deb.

Shilpi is a Kenyan- Indian multi-disciplinary artist who lives and works between Nairobi and London. She received a BFA from Sir JJ School of Art, Mumbai, India. Her work has been exhibited in Kenya at the National Museum, Circle Art Gallery, Gravit Art Gallery, Alliance Francaise de Nairobi, Kioko Art Gallery, Heinrich Böll Stiftung, Talisman and abroad in London, India and Japan, and has been featured in The Kenya Art Diaries 2020. She has worked in art direction for film, creating sets and props, her works have also been central to community project campaigns in Kenya like “Lesso Lessons” that went on to win awards at the Cannes Lions International Festival for Creativity (Gold Lion) and D&AD (Yellow Pencil). Through her practice, Shilpi is interested in the continuous and fragile idea of the self. How identity is collected and accumulated, what is innate, what is consciously added or unconsciously added by way of conditioning and how this affects one's responses, understanding, contradictions and confusions.

Works by the artist will be on display and she will be available for any questions/open dialogue.
