Maskan

Maskan is an immersive art exhibition and safe space that brings artists, survivors, and community members together to reflect on stories of resilience, gender justice, and collective healing.

Building on the success of previous editions, Maskan explores how art can spark dialogue, inspire empathy, and challenge social silence around gender-based violence. Through installations, performance, and storytelling, the exhibition invites audiences to experience the intersections of art, trauma, and hope in deeply personal ways.

This Kisumu edition is part of an ongoing collaboration between Usikimye, Creatives Garage, and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung (Nairobi Office), aiming to foster safe spaces for reflection and advocacy, amplifying unheard voices.

Each location will be presided over with an official opening and a two-day localised exhibition. 

Join us in this creative and transformative space as we use art to reimagine justice, safety, and community healing.
