Two Amazing Kenyan Women

who just happen to have been at high school with me, in Nairobi :-)

Kagendo Murungi, NY-based filmmaker, founder of Wapinduzi Productions. Her first feature-length film, Sunshine Boutique, celebrates the value of African life and the leadership of African women of all sexualities around the world.

Wangechi Mutu's work is on exhibition at San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art until April 2nd. Her images vibrate beauty and horror, as they explore the way tides of history have been enacted on women's bodies.
