The Art of Buying Art
Muthaiga Country Club
4pm registration and canape’s at the garden
4.30pm talk, Ballroom
Collecting art is not as difficult (or expensive) as it sounds and can be immensely rewarding. Join us for an informative talk with artist and gallery owner Wambui Kamiru Collymore MSc. in African Studies with a focus on Violence, History and Memory from the University of Oxford.
Wambui will explain how to get started, buying from a gallery vs directly from artists, and where to find authentic, original Kenyan art.
Born and raised in Kenya, she has been developing artwork around the themes of decoloniality, identity and independence in Africa. She is the founder of The Art Space, an online art gallery. Originally a painter, Wambui now expresses her work through installation.
