Weaving Marginalized Narratives into a Tapestry of Hope
Only 1 in 5 artists exhibit their work in their lifetime.
Globally, many talented artists remain undiscovered—limited by lack of awareness, financial barriers, and systemic hurdles. Historically, artists in underserved communities and individuals with neurodisabilities have been disproportionately marginalized. Join us in bringing these hidden masterpieces to the limelight.
I discovered that the meaning of life isn't something to be found, but something to be created by becoming aware of who I truly am.
Owino S. Wycotte
I paint her, not as damaged, but divine. Not as a victim, but a vision.
Millen Akinyi
Each stroke of the brush represents the internal struggle of battling criticism from those who don't see art as a real job due to lack of mentorship, creative fatigue, and self doubt, portraying how the artist, like the smelter, must face the vulnerability to shape beauty out of burden.
Shammah Kapukha
Its beak, once song of the skies and stars, Now clenched around corrupted scars. Not food, not song, nor truth it bore, But paper stained by blood and war... When coin becomes our loudest plea, Truth drowns beneath the silent sea.
Stallone Mulei Michael
This artwork is not just about pain. It’s about being seen. It’s about how cruelty can push someone to the edge but also how empathy can pull them back.
Edith Nyanchama
Her pain stayed with me. And from her story, I created this artwork, not just as a tribute to her strength but as a message to every woman out there: Your silence should not be your burden. You deserve to be heard.
James Ebeneza Kidiga
Through its raw textures and vivid colors, it tells stories of anxiety masked by smiles, strength forged in solitude, and the unspoken weight of societal expectations. Each brushstroke echoes a cry for understanding, a plea for space to heal, and a celebration of survival.

Depression is real. Mental illness is real. It is not a mood. It is not weakness. It's a disease, like malaria or asthma — you can't see it, but it's corrosive. And until we talk about the hard things, we can't heal. Until we medicate it, the only escape is death.

The election period in Mathare was a goldmine, and we milked politicians’ goods and empty promises... Marginalization began when the final ballot was closed and the cameras shut off. The politicians vanished in the high-class residential area of Nairobi.
Wanyama Ogutu
The police cap placed beside the girl is not just a piece of attire—it is a bold symbol of how power can turn blind or cruel, especially to the most vulnerable. The tricolour in the centre reminds us that every woman is a citizen of this nation—worthy of dignity, safety, and voice.
