A painting and photographic exhibition, Creative Millenials, is ongoing at the Alliance Francaise in Nairobi. The exhibition, which opened on Thursday and runs until January 26, features works from artists on diverse themes.

Filmmaker and photographer Margaret Sherie depicted mental health through her works “Wrapped in my Head” and “Mrembo.” The artist uses monochromatic technique to bring out the subject matter. Her first piece “Wrapped in my Head” depicts a woman who is wearing a mask and atop of it is a bouquet of flowers while her second piece, “Mrembo,” a young woman’s face is hidden in a bandage.
