Siasa is a satirical AR project that sought to critique the recently concluded Kenyan general elections and an observed marker of this period, the numerous campaign posters virtually plastered on every imaginable surface. This often eventually ends up as a spectacle just by the sheer scale and several questions come to mind in the middle of all this -.
- What possible amount of money is fueling this spectacle?
- Are there links to be drawn between the seemingly endless pilferage of public institutions and the financing that goes into the branding of politics?
- Had this money not been lost, could it have found better use especially at a time of sky high inflation rates, rapid climate change and an uncertain future for humans?
