Kenya's Unique Artistry: Beyond the Museum Walls

In Kenya, you won't find museums like those in Europe. No royal grandeur, like at the Louvre. Simple structures, mostly open-air. Africans aren't likely to seek meaning in a black square. Here, art is about people, nature, and, of course, tribal history and culture. "Why is it so expensive here? In Thailand, it costs a dollar." You can tell when new Mzungu (white people, like us) arrive and wonder why Africa is pricier than Asia. Yes, many things are inexpensive here, but not for Mzungu. This term translates to "wanderer" or "going in circles." In Kenya, it's easy to be seen as a white demon stealing souls. All you need to do is take a picture of a local. What's astonishing isn't that some believe it, but that you can get away with it for a small fee. And more than one time. By more than one demon. No one knows what the next day will bring. Overnight, you can travel back in time to an era without showers and electricity. Thanks to @thecliffke, we stayed in the present. It's easy to go to Turkey or Thailand. Africa isn't for everyone. But that's what makes it unique.
