INK & PIXELS: Exhibition on Kenyan Comics in Bremen Featuring Kenyan Cartoonist, Maddo

If you love comics, this is an exhibition you shouldn’t miss. A showcase of Kenyan comics from back in the day to the latest. And those Maddo fans, you have a chance to meet up with him at the launch.

Ink and Pixels, a collection of comics that not only tell of Kenya’s history but also show a different side of Kenya and Africa as a whole that is not the usual image of poverty, war and hunger. This will be the second exhibition in Bremen showcasing the comic scene from an African country.

This is not the first time this exhibition will be displayed, having been curated at the Goethe Institute in Nairobi by Chief Nyamweya and Kimani wa Wanjiru in 2005.
