IN MEMORY OF MASIDZA SANDE GALAVU
This project had a special meaning to Masidza who was himself a lupus warrior.
“There's so much history that Kenyans don’t know and is not being taught in schools. In 2017 Shujaa Stories was born with a goal to unmask the history of the told and untold Shujaas of pre-independence time. The illustrations are done in a superhero and fantasy way so as to attract the younger generation."
Masidza Galavu, Creative Director, Shujaa Stories and Tatu Creatives

As Kenyans grapple with how to contain Covid-19, there is still the untold story of how Chief Karuri wa Gakure saved his people from smallpox pandemic. Once brought to life by paintings frozen in time on walls of purity and untarnished design, now with breathe we create. Swift color on rippled skin, tension in emotions subscribed to, undeclared intention towards understanding a world that was us. They chant exuberantly as they trudge fearlessly through the terrain, courage drips from their physique, bravery shines in their eyes, their determination unwavering; they go to war, they go to fight, they are warriors.
Lessons from the Chief who fought and won the smallpox pandemic in late 1890's
