Documenting the many extraordinary baobab trees around him in Kenya is all-round creative Mbugua Muigai’s passion.
In Kilifi County, Kenya, photographer, set designer and general creative Mbugua Muigai, aka Kuriba, expresses his love and respect for the mighty baobab tree through a range of artistic work, exploring the cultural, medicinal and environmental significance of these ancient “upsides down” trees. He engages young ravers with them at a music event, shares a spiritual moment with a healer, and takes us on a tour of his favourite baobabs. But this passion comes with a warning, as a growing trade in exporting these massive trees threatens their numbers.
