Exhibitions highlight artistry of pottery and bugs

Two truly ‘down-to-earth’ exhibitions opened in the past fortnight in Nairobi. One is all about bugs living in the Brackenhurst indigenous forest in Limuru and the other’s about mud and clay molded over millennia up to the present day.

It’s the molded mud exhibition that’s the most multi-faceted and complex. ‘Pots and Identities’ was curated by the National Museum’s Dr Freda Nkirote together with Lydia Galavu and other museum staff.
