Exhibition

All Day

Courage Exhibition by Boniface Mwangi | Courtyard

This exhibition highlights stories of courageous individuals who paid a heavy price for Kenya to be where it is today. This is an exhibition about sacrifice and service beyond self. It is a commemoration of the power of ideas, and of the willingness to relentlessly fight for what is right.

Experience this exhibition and be inspired to be the change you want to see in Kenya. You will encounter men and women who, by living their life authentically and fearlessly, changed Kenya for the better. Their acts of courage may not have been appreciated at the time but they made a difference.

Here, we celebrate leaders who rose above tribal politics and ultimately condemned for their nonconformity. Their sacrifices are a lesson that Kenya has produced quality leaders, and if we stopped voting along tribal lines, our generation could elect passionate and commendable leaders. Each time you simply vote along tribal and party lines, you sell your soul and hinder Kenya’s growth.

7.00 – 8.00pm

Charles Dickens – The Master Storyteller performed by Kevin Hanssen | Louis Leakey Auditorium

Charles Dickens gave us some of fiction’s most memorable characters, such as Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, and Fagin in Oliver Twist. His sharp-witted satirical social commentary has maintained its vitality and relevance over time. Inspired by Dickens’ love of telling his stories aloud, Kevin Hanssen transforms three vivid stories into a theatrical delight, taking us from the whimsy of the French aristocracy, to a ghostly train tunnel, to compassion for a miser who finds his soul. The show received regular standing ovations during its runs at Reps Theatre (Harare), Rosebank Theatre (Cape Town) and on tour in Dorset, UK. It is not to be missed!
