Pop Art in Kenya






Pop art or Popular art has a big influence in Kenya and in Africa in general.The public, ignorantly don't know it.It is evident everywhere one goes.From the free internet downloads,flamboyant political rallies,matatu culture,the neighborhood signboards to the roadside billboards.
Graffiti artists who are more into socialist realism are slowly exploring the commercial aspect of this genre.On the other hand,Pop culture has gained momentum on the digital level.We now hear of popular websites,blogs,software and other hi-tech gizmos.
