The Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute (NCAI) and Munyu are excited to invite you to join a Paper-making Workshop led by Chela Yego and Cynthia Nyakiro. Set within the context of the 'Between Signals' exhibition currently showing at NCAI, this one-day workshop will introduce participants to the artistry of handmade paper. Through hands-on demonstrations, Chela and Cynthia will guide participants through the entire process of creating handmade paper. From cutting, blending, layering, and embedding paper with unique tones, textures, and effects, to experimenting with linen, hair, and other organic materials, this pedagogical workshop offers a chance to experience paper-making anew. Chela Yego works primarily in collage, sculpture and immersive installation. Her work is grounded in researching and exploring her inner world and her cultural heritage. Cynthia Nyakiro is a visual artist whose practice spans a range of media; she explores materiality, transformation and human experience through an experimental and process-driven approach. Chela and Cynthia are creative collaborators and the artists behind the installation 'Keketai', one of the pieces in the exhibition. This programme is open to anyone interested in the visual arts, paper-making and exploring different mediums and ways of working. No previous experience in any field of creative expression is required to participate.
