Awuor Onyango

I am a writer and multidisciplinary artist based in Nairobi, Kenya. My practice is concerned with (re)claiming public space erased/appropriated and or disallowed to people considered black, femme and other, whether the space is intellectual, physical, in memory or historical. My multidisciplinary and multisensorial  approach is rooted in the ephemeral, interactive and lived art traditions of East Africa, inviting, engaging, honouring and centering the voice of the side-lined, erased, in danger of amputation. I try to apply emerging technologies to reclaim these traditions.
