in transit under another sky invokes the fugitive nature of art and artists working in-between spaces, considering physical geographies as well as other marginal identities and what emerges from the positionality of transience. We take the idea of a ‘moving image’ as a provocation beyond form to affect; moved to feel, or moved to a feeling. Nomadic images that move between spaces, traverse borders, images, shadows and traces that are quite literally in transit. The act of transit being both contentious and generative.

This exhibition features work by 11 artists: Larry Achiampong, Jessica Atieno, Letaru Dralega, Wezile Harmans, Kabi Kimari, Liz Kobusinge & Darlyne Komukama, Peterson Kamwathi, Mogoi, Neema Ngelime, and SCARLETMOTIFF.
