At the House of Friends gallery, curator Joseph Ouma is a self-taught Kenyan artist who moved to Kibera when he was 5. Ouma, who spent his spare time offering free art courses for children in the slum, is currently working on the construction of a new two-level studio with the support of the project, which he expected to draw more international recognition and attract more artists and visitors worldwide.
