Akello Naliaka Rashidi

Painter, potter and teacher at The Nairobi Pottery

  • πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
  • The Nairobi Pottery
  • 1996 to 2020
  • English, Swahili
I work mostly in woodcarving, sometimes street art. My first show was in 1996 at The Nairobi Pottery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. I always make time for a proper cup of tea. My studio is always a bit of a mess.

More about Akello

I've had 13 small exhibitions over the years. My favorite was the one with the worst lighting.
What gifts mean to Akello: A gift would go toward materials for my next series.
