Roller skates in Nairobi
Onyis Martin, Longinos Nagila and David Thuku are three Kenyan artists met by Cavenago on the occasion of the African experience "DIALOGOS PART SIX - Kuona Artists' Collective, Nairobi": a collaborative project between Kenyan and Italian artists, focused on the possibility of developing an artistic practice based on the continuous negotiation of knowledge, choices and awareness. An experience between artists who found each other through coincidences, elective affinities or intertwined paths. During his residency, Cavenago decided to design three pairs of roller skates, this time made of wood, and to give the three artists each their own number: 42, 43 and 44.
