“Kiko” – Fun, Not Too Serious (Woodcut Print on Paper) + Upcycled Fridge Magnet

Description

Digital Woodcut print on paper A4 size

This evocative woodcut print by Ndunde Bulimo depicts an elderly woman smoking a ‘kiko’, the traditional pipe historically associated with wisdom, storytelling, and ancestral connection in many Kenyan communities. Rendered in her bold, textured style using locally sourced materials, the piece honors fading cultural rituals while celebrating memory, status, 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.
