Tukku Magi: Rhythm’s

The exhibition Tukku Magi: Rhythm’s demonstrates how different styles, influences, and cultural perspectives can come together to create a multifaceted view that resonates with people on a deep, emotional level. Rhythm embodies the essence of artistic collaboration and the beauty that emerges when diverse voices are brought into conversation. It is not just music or dance movement, but also the rhythm of life, nature, and relationships between people.

The display includes objects of African traditional art from the Tukku Magi collection, in conversation with contemporary artists, including Moffat Takadiwa (Zimbabwe), Dickens Otieno (Kenya), Jānis Jākobsons (USA / Latvia), Zoya Frolova (USA / Latvia), Nick Brandt (UK), Fernando Anuang’a (Kenya), and artist group James Muriuki (Kenya), Olga Kisseleva (France), James Mweu (Kenya), Margaret Ngigi (Kenya).
