Through painting, text, memory, and material traces, the exhibition reflects on the responsibilities, quiet acts of endurance, and personal sacrifices that shape who we become.
At its heart, the exhibition asks a simple but urgent question:
What does it cost to be fully presentโ€”to yourself, to others, and to the communities you call home?

Join us for the Opening Reception on Saturday, 4th July 2026, from 2pm to 7pm at Annex Gallery, Kibera Arts District.
