‘Pirikania’: Tracing the long journey of progress through pain

If pain had a voice, Kahare Miano would express it through his chords. He would sing like a griot, sharing a philosophical story shaped by experiences of going through hell and back. Kahare, however, is an architect and a painter, and the language that best captures his experience is found in the spaces where colours and parallels intersect.

At his current exhibition Pirikania, Pain and Progress at One-Off Contemporary Art Gallery, Kahare lets that language take physical form. The works feel lived-in, touched by both restlessness and restraint.
