Documenting the various extraordinary baobab timber round him in Kenya is all-round inventive Mbugua Muigai’s ardour.
In Kilifi County, Kenya, photographer, set designer and basic inventive Mbugua Muigai, aka Kuriba, expresses his love and respect for the mighty baobab tree by means of a spread of inventive work, exploring the cultural, medicinal and environmental significance of those historical “upsides down” timber. He engages younger ravers with them at a music occasion, shares a non secular second with a healer, and takes us on a tour of his favorite baobabs. However this ardour comes with a warning, as a rising commerce in exporting these large timber threatens their numbers.
