Members of the Art club, Dennis and Victor, with the horse

Apparently, the four are sculptures are on display. "The club has talked with Kioko Mwitiki, the sculptor. Our plan is for our interested members to help him out at his workshop in a kind of apprenticeship programme. In turn, he will display some of his sculptures at the university. Once the sculptures on display are bought, others (most likely of different animals) will be brought for display," Esther revealed.

"Kioko is doing a great job – taking scrap and turning it into something attractive. That is creativity – turning nothing into something," Esther added.

Qualiza Sanaa is a rather strange name. What does it mean? "Sanaa is the Kiswahili word for art. Qualiza is a variation of the word 'tuliza'. We chose tuliza, Kiswahili for relax to convey the idea of freedom of expression in art. We want members to be free in the way they express themselves in art," says Victor Ochieng, the club's project manager in charge of drawing.

The sculptures depict a horse, a cheetah, a wild dog, and a lion. The lion is in phase II. "The horse is life size and is really beautiful. It looks alive," Esther enthuses.

So far the club has a membership of 40 and it is truly thinking futuristic. It is doing painting, drawing and poetry but wants to venture into mosaic, collage and photography. "Shine Tani, a painter and operator of Banana Hills Art Studio, has offered to train us. And we are also thinking of developing our own projects," says Esther.
