In honor of women's month, we are honoring 5 female artists from Kenya. Here are 5 Kenyan Women Making Music You'll Fall in Love With!

From the powerful jazz voice of Achieng Abura to the folk traditions carried forward by artists like Suzanna Owiyo, women have long shaped the sound of the nation. Yet their contributions have often been treated as side notes rathe...

When Prabha was fourteen, the nation achieved independence during the Indian Independence Act 1947, ending nearly two centuries of British colonial rule. Independence arrived with both celebration and sorrow. The Partition of India divided the country and displaced millions of people across new borders. A few years later, in 1950, the newly formed nation adopted the Constitution of India, establishing a democratic republic that granted voting rights to both men and women. The country was learning how to define itself, and young artists like Prabha were doing the same.

The body becomes a place where memory lives."

One painting that carries this idea deeply is “Shadow of ’77,” a large work measuring 89 by 99 centimeters. The piece was inspired by Lasisi’s discovery that many people around him knew little about Festac ’77, the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture held in Lagos i...
