Wanja Kimani is a visual artist, writer and curator based in rural Northamptonshire, UK via Nairobi, Kenya.

She is interested in how the body and land connect and disconnect over time. Through painting with natural dyes and making things with found materials, she likes to play and see what happens. Words are important to her, and she can often be found exploring archives and making connections between the past and what she sees today. Sometimes she writes. She is doing a lot of that this year.

Her films, paintings and textile work have been shown in galleries across the world and she has presented her ideas to people in different institutions. She is happiest in her studio, watching the landscape change and listening to a good podcast. Recommendations are welcome.
