The exhibition Tukku Magi: Rhythm’s is a celebration of shared human experience, expressed through the universal language of art. It demonstrates how different styles, influences, and cultural perspectives can come together to create a multifaceted view that resonates with people on a deep, emotional level. Rhythm embodies the essence of artistic collaboration and the beauty that emerges when diverse voices are brought into conversation. It is not just music or dance movement, but also the rhythm of life, nature, and relationships between people. The world is in motion, creating rhythmic dialogues between the local and global, personal and public, authentic and constructed, humans and nature, between prejudice and openness to diversity.

Every artist in the exhibition contributes their individual story connecting with Africa and their own unique conception of rhythm. The display includes objects of African traditional art from the Tukku Magi collection, in conversation with contemporary artists, including Moffat Takadiwa, Dickens Otieno, Jānis Jākobsons, Zoya Frolova, Nick Brandt, Fernando Anuang’a, and artist group James Muriuki, Olga Kisseleva, James Mweu, Margaret Ngigi.
