For more than 15 years, the Wajukuu Collective of Kenyan artists has used their creativity to empower the youth in underprivileged communities, speak out on injustices and “transmute suffering into beauty.”

Soon they will take their message globally when they participate in the Documenta 15 art fair in Kassel, Germany from June to September 2022.
