Jackie Karuti

Jackie Karuti is an artist based in Nairobi, Kenya. Her work employs the use of drawing, the moving image and performance to generate thought and her practice is founded on ideas around knowledge production & the depths of possibility enabled by radical imagination. Karuti was the recipient of the Follow Fluxus-After Fluxus scholarship in 2021 and the Henrike Grohs Award in 2020 which saw the release of her debut monograph Notes Movement Method published by Mousse. She is an alumnus of Àsìko, Lagos (2012), the roaming Pan African art school established by the late Bisi Silva to redress the frequently outdated or non-existent artistic and curatorial curricula at tertiary institutions across Africa.
