UMVA has learned that a groundbreaking exhibition titled East Meets West: A Love Story is set to illuminate the art scene from June 27 to August 14, 2026, at Peak Art Gallery in Accra.
The show unites visionary creators from Kenya and Ghana, forging a vibrant dialogue that bridges East and West African artistic currents.
Through daring canvases, sculptural installations and immersive storytelling, the exhibition probes identity, memory and imagination, revealing the continent’s ever‑evolving visual language.
At its heart are two Kenyan luminaries—Peter Elungat and Adrian Duma—whose new bodies of work promise to captivate Ghanaian audiences.
Elungat, celebrated for his richly layered narratives, will unveil pieces that dissect contemporary African life, weaving personal memory with collective experience.
Duma’s dynamic paintings burst with texture and form, inviting viewers into liminal realms where reality dissolves into abstraction.
Together, their creations offer a rare glimpse into East Africa’s most compelling voices, expanding the cultural conversation beyond borders.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the partnership between Nafasi and Peak Art Gallery is more than a showcase; it is a catalyst for lasting artistic networks and cross‑regional collaboration.
The exhibition stands as a vivid testament to African creativity’s power to build bridges, spark dialogue about belonging, and shape a shared future.
