Book excerpt: The first retrospective monograph on one of Kenya’s foremost living artists I Hope So: Sane Wadu follows the expansion and development of Wadu’s conceptual preoccupations, beginning with an early interest in bucolic scenes of pastoral life which has evolved into incisive social commentary, a complex exploration of the intersection of faith and politics, and an ongoing critique of societal contradictions. An illuminating essay by Mukami Kuria and an interview with Rosie Olang’ Odhiambo offer readers multiple entry points into Wadu’s penetrating vision. This catalogue is published on the occasion of Sane Wadu’s first retrospective exhibition at the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute in 2022.
