MGENI — the film

The Living Rooms @ Ramesh Gautama Road – Nairobi

Mgeni (The Guest) treats hospitality as performance and the home as a stage for encounter. The film reflects on the delicate balance between intimacy and distance, kinship and strangeness, when we open our doors to others. Inspired by anthropology, sociology, and performance studies, the film traces how gestures of welcome — sharing food, offering a seat, giving space become choreographies of care and negotiation. Join us for an evening experience on 17th October, featuring the film screening alongside a physical exhibition.

“Jogoo Wa Shamba Wawika Mjini” hit different. It nailed the shags-meets-city vibe installations that make you think about where you’re from vs where you are. Layers, textures, and real cultural depth. Worth the visit if you appreciate art that speaks to the Kenyan experience. Highly recommend! 🎨
