Nicholas Odhiambo Mboya
Utopia – Dystopia
27.9.–16.11.2025
In form of a series of newly created, large-format paintings, Nicholas Odhiambo Mboya’s first solo exhibition will examine socio-political issues in his home country Kenya as well as his own identity in a European context. It will raise questions about the notion of home, traditions as well as spiritual-political challenges and explore affiliations. Through a kinetic installation, the Kunsthaus will turn into a metaphorical panopticon that points to surveillance and self-regulation inherent in diasporic experiences and draws links between cultural and systematic structures.
