Mother & Home, exhibition by Nafasi Artist-in-Residence Walter Simbo(TZ) curated by Rebecca Corey and Valerie Amani is still up in the Nafasi gallery until 31 May.
Walter Simbo’s exhibition is a beautiful ode to his beloved mother who
passed away when he was a young boy. Simbo’s artwork focuses on the
important roles mothers play in shaping us into adulthood. His
exhibition is his opportunity to thank his mother and all mothers for
the selfless and loving way they take care of their children and
the community.
Simbo uses both acrylic and oil paints and sometimes beads on canvas
in his work, frequently choosing the color blue which he says “often
dominates [his] sight because so many things in the world —the oceans,
the seas or even the clouds in the sky —are blue. When [he looks] at the
clouds and the sea it reminds [him] of the world that we live in after
our mothers birth us.”
ENTRY IS FREE
