Ardhi Gallery

Ardhi Gallery is Nairobi’s latest contemporary art gallery, having opened its doors in April 2023. Ardhi, meaning “ground” in Swahili, is a thoughtfully curated space showcasing emerging, underrepresented and outsider artists alongside leading established artists who have a passion for nurturing the arts in society. Ardhi aims to expand the wider communities’ exposure to and appreciation of art that reflects the diverse everyday life of Kenyans, and the role creativity can play in transforming hardship into something of meaning and beauty. Ardhi holds regular and pop-up exhibitions, poetry nights, musical performances, talks on mental health and safety in society, and art classes for children and adults- instructed by artists represented in the gallery.
