Maskan Kisumu Edition

MASKAN KISUMU: Art, Memory, and Healing

Dates: 30th – 31st October 2025
Time: 11:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
Venue: Milimani, next to Stella Suites, Kisumu

Maskan Kisumu is an immersive art exhibition and safe space that brings together artists, survivors, and community members to reflect on stories of resilience, gender justice, and collective healing.

Building on the success of previous editions, Maskan explores how art can spark dialogue, inspire empathy, and challenge social silence around gender-based violence. Through installations, performance, and storytelling, the exhibition invites audiences to experience the intersections of art, trauma, and hope in deeply personal ways.

This Kisumu edition is part of an ongoing collaboration between Usikimye, Creatives Garage, and the Heinrich Böll Stiftung (Nairobi Office), with local support from Lake Region Womxn Health and Equal Rights (LARWEH). The partners aim to foster safe spaces for reflection and advocacy, amplifying unheard voices.

The official opening will occur on Thursday, 30th October 2025 at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Hon. Beatrice Odongo, CEC Member for Sports, Culture, Gender and Youth Affairs, County Government of Kisumu.

Join us in this creative and transformative space as we use art to reimagine justice, safety, and community healing.
