🎁 A Gift to Kongo Mosque, Diani

 My Father has been part of a plan to reconstruct, renovate and renew Kongo Mosque, ( a now preserved World Heritage Site location) in Diani Beach, Coastal Province of Kenya 

Kongo Mosque is at the northern end of the beach road (follow the faded sign behind the Jacaranda Resort), a 16 Century construction,  Diani’s last surviving relic of the ancient Swahili civilisations that once controlled the coast, and one of a very few handful of coral mosques still in use in Kenya. 

The baobab tree studded beach is a wonderful picnic spot and the mosque is worth a visit!

Following my visit my Father suggested my contribution to the Mosque with an Islamic Artwork. 

 To end 2020 I gifted my Father the piece I created (while having Corona myself!) Somehow illness can drive us to push ourselves to do more!...

Kuona Trust, the Centre for Visual Arts in Kenya held its Art Walk, Valentine Edition on 14 February 2015  at Kuona Trust itself and some Artists,including myself from Kenya represented some of our artworks at the one day event.  It was a great day filled with art, food, music, sun and fun ( and a bit of rain towards the end! ).....
