The AnkhLave International Artist Exchange: Kenya Edition

The AnkhLave International Artist Exchange: Kenya Edition is about building bridges through art, honoring ancestry, fostering dialogue, and celebrating the living connections between African and African American communities.
Founder, Director and Curator Dario Mohr first met Indigenous Kenyan artists, Kukuyi artist: Wanjiku Nderitu and Luo artist: Linda Daisy during a residency at Tafaria Castle & Center for the Arts in Nyeri, Kenya, in 2023. Their work, rooted in ancestral memory, community, and spiritual traditions, left a profound impression. Inspired by these encounters, he returned to Kenya in 2025 to present “Echoes of Home”, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring 32 African American artists who had never exhibited on the African continent. This exchange sparked meaningful dialogue and created connections between artists across continents.
In 2026, this project comes full circle as our Kenyan artists travel to New York City to share their vibrant voices with a wider audience. They will create large-scale vinyl murals installed on the fencing of Old Stone House Brooklyn in Washington Park, bringing Indigenous Kenyan visual traditions into the public sphere in NYC.
