One In Three: What Does It Take for You to Be Outraged? From the World Bank Art Program
The One In Three exhibition is a global exhibition that includes artworks from artists from every region of the world. The title of the exhibition derives from statistics that a third of women in the world will experience gender-based violence (GBV) in their lifetimes.
Act of The Month
DJ Double O will be dropping the big tunes at this month’s Verse5Ve’s #Turnt5Ve party at Memorial Park on 14th August. Oliver Kilaha wanted to become a matatu driver when he grew up so he could listen to deejay mixes all day. Well, he did achieve something close to his dream when he studied Aeronautical Engineering. But his heart yearned for something else, according to Groove Awards.
