Kibera Arts District Presents: Archives of My Soul – A Solo Exhibition by Onesmus Okamar

Nairobi, Kenya — June 25, 2025 | This season, immerse yourself in a deeply personal journey through art as HOF Gallery Kibera proudly presents “Archives of My Soul,” a solo exhibition by rising Kenyan visual artist Onesmus Okamar. Opening on Saturday, June 28 at 3:00 PM, the exhibition runs daily until August 3, 2025, inviting viewers into an intimate space of memory, emotion, and reflection.

“Archives of My Soul” is not just an exhibition—it is a visual diary, a heartfelt excavation of personal truth, emotional history, and cultural identity. Through a mix of painting, mixed media, and storytelling, Okamar opens the doors to his inner world, offering an unfiltered look at the human experience through his lens.

Born and raised in Nairobi, Onesmus Okamar brings an authentic, raw perspective to contemporary Kenyan art. With a distinct voice shaped by both urban reality and personal introspection, his work delves into themes of self-exploration, resilience, grief, memory, and identity. Each piece in this exhibition serves as a soulful page from the artist’s lived experience—his joys, his losses, and the quiet in-betweens.

The HOF Gallery, nestled in the heart of Kibera, offers a unique and dynamic platform for artists whose work speaks not only to personal transformation but also to the broader social and cultural dialogues of our time. “Archives of My Soul” continues the gallery’s mission of amplifying powerful voices from within communities often underrepresented in the art world. Whether you are a seasoned collector, an art lover, or a curious first-time visitor, this exhibition is sure to leave you moved, introspective, and inspired.
