Syowia Kyambi is a mixed media artist, who enjoys performing characters within her performance installations to tell stories, an alternative layered narrative about history in an attempt to disrupt mono-cultural violence. The connection between the psyche, history and the entanglement that exists within non-stagnant identities is ever present in her creative process. Her practice probes issues of race, perception, hierarchical systems, gender studies and body memory. Based in Nairobi and of Kenyan and German origin, Syowia Kyambi has received commissions by the Kenya Institute of Administration, the National Museum of Kenya and the Art 4 Action Foundation in Kenya.
