Between Us - live performance & installation by Miriam Syowia Kyambi

Between Us is an experimental multi media production by Miriam Syowia Kyambi incorporating live art performance, installation, photography and video taking place over four weeks in Nairobi at The GoDown Art Centre. In this work, Kyambi collaborates with artist and choreographer James Mweu to create material that examines contemporary viewpoints on themes that are central to her practice: the body, gender issues and social perceptions. Between Us aims to unravel and examine critically our perception of what is acceptable, what is private and the meaning we impose on what we see, informed by how we are shaped by the society we live in and the conventions we live by. The production will encompass an exhibition and four-week workshop sessions culminating in a live performance on Saturday, July 5th at 5.30pm during which the audience will be invited to interact with the performers. http://vimeo.com/89901680?utm_source=email&utm_medium=clip-transcode_complete-finished 20120100&utm_campaign=7701&email_id=Y2xpcF90cmFuc2NvZGVkfDQ1MTg5MWZlZWE1Mzk3N2EzN2I1OTQ4Y2Q1Y2E1MDhmNzM5fDIyNDgyNDYwfDEzOTU2NjAzMTF8NzcwMQ%3D%3D EXHIBITION AND WORKSHOPS 14th June - 19th July 2014 The GoDown Art Centre , Dunga Road, Industrial Area, Nairobi free entry - Opening times: Mon- Fri: 9 am - 5pm / Sat: 10am - 5pm LIVE PERFORMANCE Saturday 5th July 2014 - 5:30pm The GoDown Art Centre, Dunga Road, Industrial Area, Nairobi Tickets to the performance: KSH 1000 Tickets available at Kuona Trust Art Centre, One Off Gallery, Circle Art Agency and the GoDown Art Centre or call 0702 090 445
