Ever since the African Heritage Pan African Art Gallery on Nairobi's Kenyatta Avenue closed, Kenyans’ exposure to Pan-African art has been low. That is, up until Circle Art Gallery’s Danda Jaroljmek started inviting leading curators from around the region to select artworks that best represented their countries and exhibit them.
Starting in 2015 with ‘Addis Contemporary’, there has been a regional exhibition almost every year since. In 2016, it was ‘Kampala Contemporary’ followed by ‘Khartoum Contemporary’ in 2017 and ‘Harare Contemporary’ in 2018.
