Kahiu,Wanuri. “Fun, Fierce, and Fantastical African Art.” Filmed in April 2017 at TEDConference. Video, 05:03. https://www.ted.com/talks/wanuri_kahiu_fun_fierce_and_fantastical_african_art?language=en

Through her art, Kahiu asks where’s the fun? Introducing “AfroBubbleGum” - African art that’s vibrant, lighthearted and without a political agenda. Rethink the value of all that is unserious as Kahiue explains why we need art that captures the full range of human experiences to tell the stories out of Africa.
