Exhibition walkthrough,
And short Masterclass
on creative alchemy
Alliance francaise, Nairobi, Kenya







Some bodies of work take years to arrive because the work asks for something more than craft. Hierophany: Hauntings and Homecoming is a transmedia exhibition by Barbara Khaliyesa Minishi built from a decade of photographs, films, words and encounters that refused to stay quiet.
Using Hierophany as a living study, SYNTHESIS is an intergrated artist talk, exhibition walkthrough and mini masterclass on creative alchemy.
What You Will Take Away:
Why This Matters Now:
We are living in a season extraordinary image saturation, quick automative solutions and creative algorithmic noise.
Technically proficient work is everywhere and African image-making in particular is often asked to carry weight in very specific ways.
SYNTHESIS is a conversation about what it looks like to navigate that and an invitation to build a long term body of work that matters to you.
Who This Is For:
Have you made work that looked right but felt hollow?
SYNTHESIS is for photographers, visual artists, and anyone at any stage of their career who feel that their work is technically accomplished but not yet fully theirs. You do not need to have an existing project only the
willingness to look at what you carry & where you are in life.
