Wangari Githinji

Self-taught textiles artist

  • 🇰🇪 Mombasa, Mombasa, Kenya
  • Mombasa Gallery
  • Since 2005
  • English, Swahili
I work mostly in textiles, sometimes photography. My first show was in 2005 at Mombasa Gallery, and nobody came except my family and one confused dog. Most of my work is inspired by folk tales I grew up with. I sing in a choir.

More about Wangari

If you've bought a piece of mine, thank you. It's on someone's wall and that still amazes me.
What gifts mean to Wangari: I'd put a gift toward a kiln repair. It's been a long time coming.
