Kuona [ Residency]
In 1998, Kuona Trust set up a residency programme for international artists to work in Nairobi for up to eight weeks. Artists from Taiwan, Egypt, Jamaica, Ghana, South Africa and India have worked with artists from Kenya during residencies held both at Lake Naivasha and in Nairobi. Residencies involve outreach by way of lectures and slide talks at Kuona and at schools and the National Museum.
Kuona Trust has also helped initiate workshops in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania and artists from East Africa have participated in residencies and workshops co-organised by Kuona in Egypt, UK, USA and South Africa.
