Artist: STEPHEN NDAVI
Medium: Painting
 
Stephen Ndavi’s images of eating children are painted on wooden chopping boards sourced from the markets of Mukuru – Nairobi’s second-largest informal settlement.  The used chopping boards from shops that sell vegetables, fruits or meat are painted with scenes of children eating and getting proper nutrition. As someone who has had to go without in his own childhood and youth, Ndavi regularly sources materials in the place he grew up and uses art to help his community. A percentage of every sale of his work goes to communities in the Mukuru slum.
