By a Correspondent

Living treasures Exhibition at National Museums of Kenya

"By using the universal language of art, Patrick Amory puts the emphasis on the essential values of cultural diversity and dialogue between peoples. The Living Treasures of Kenya underlines the extraordinary cultural vitality of Kenya and the necessity of protecting human cultural heritage.

Having appreciated the unique and extraordinary strength of Patrick Amory’s works, and the ideas and principles underlying his artistic and ethical approach, I am convinced that this exhibition will be the best ambassador for celebrating Kenya’s national heritage." - Dr. Idle FarahDirector General, National Museums of Kenya.
