Use of Plant-Based Color as a Visual Language
Saturday, April 18
11 a.m. – 1 p.m. in Studio A
Step beyond synthetic pigments and into a world where art, chemistry, and cultural memory collide.
Join the STAMP Gallery, Studio A and the ARTiculate Narratives Project for a dynamic virtual artist talk with Mr. Wanyama Ogutu, MFA scholar at Kenyatta University. Discover how he extracts vibrant color from native Swahili plants and transforms them into powerful paintings that preserve cultural identity through creative expression.
During our time together, you'll experience a deep-dive into the chemistry and heritage of botanical pigments, a walkthrough of traditional color extraction and artistic process, and an interactive Q&A with the artist.
