Description
This digital print of a woodcut print by Ndunde Bulimo captures the iconic “Face Me” vehicle, once a common sight on Kenyan roads. Named for its side-facing seats that had passengers facing one another, the Face Me embodied the chaos and community of up-country travel: luggage stacked in the middle and on the roof, children carried freely, and sometimes even animals along for the ride.
Rendered in Bulimo’s rich, textured style using locally sourced materials, this piece preserves a humorous, nostalgic slice of Kenyan everyday life while celebrating collective memory and sustainable art.
Accompanying each print is a unique butterfly magnet, born from a transformative recycling initiative in Mathare. These pieces are meticulously crafted by a local community group that breathes new life into discarded plastic. Because of the nature of recycled materials, every magnet features a unique, marbled color palette, ensuring your piece is as individual as the hands that made it.
