ARTIST BIO: Benard Munyange is a Kenyan visual artist whose work is inspired by his life experiences. He draws inspiration from what he has seen, heard, felt or thought of and his work focuses on the African beauty, struggles and experiences. Music has a great influence on his work; it is artivism with a particular song in mind. Bernard used to create as a form of coping and as a hobby, but now his art serves to touch and connect with his circle.
