Gallery Night

Gallery Night

Muzungu Style is an Exhibition about connections, movement, emotions, and memories through vibrant color, texture, and layered symbolism. Inspired by the term “Muzungu,” originally meaning "someone who wanders around", in Swahili and Luganda, but it came to be used to refer to Westerners or foreigners.  In the exhibition, the representation of spirit animals signify the emotional imprints left by encounters with nature, spirits, and the remarkable people I met while traveling across Mama Africa, conveying the deep connection between humanity and nature, where nature serves as a mirror to the human spirit.

Check out all other participating locations on their website! Gallery Night MKE
