Tabula Rasa: The Geometry of the Collective.

Peterson Kamwathi's exhibition 'Tabula Rasa: The Geometry of the Collective' opened at the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute. The show features his work exploring how individual bodies accumulate and dissolve into larger social and political formations, mapping the dynamics of crowds, protests, and collective identity.

The exhibition is significant as it presents a major survey of the Kenyan artist's practice, which critically examines power, representation, and the body politic within the African context. It reinforces the Nairobi Contemporary Art Institute's role as a key platform for serious artistic discourse on the continent, highlighting themes of social geometry that resonate with global conversations about mass movements and agency.
