In line with supporting Kenyan artists and art, Alliance Française hosted the opening night of the exhibition Exodus on Thursday evening by Allan Simba.

Born in Mombasa, he started painting at a very young age. "Like water, I think of each piece as a window in a cottage, each of them offering a different view," he said.
