Director of AAEA Kenya Office Publishes New Book
"Peace Art: The Forbidden Expression"
Boaz Adhengo writes:
"My purpose of writing this book is to describe the complex ‘Peace Art’ as it occurs in Africa and specifically, Kenya. My understanding of Peace Art is not universally accepted. Some researchers’ prefer less expressive, more cognitive behavior models to describe this concept. More so, conflict and chaotic relation of art, a look into the opposite. It is more of a proposal into collective action, into resourceful organization of art into action. The approach into this writing is purely creative but informing, merging existing examples with experience into a digestible piece that will not warrant a meeting."
"The African American Community is as American as Apple Pie."
"We welcome all races interested in working for improvements in the Black community."
