Artist Talk: The Art of Living with Karuma Christine & Faith Nguthi

​Taking Christine Karuma's painting Resilience (i) as its point of departure, this special PiNK SALON conversation brings together two women from different professional worlds to explore a profoundly shared human subject.

​Karuma explores the body as a site of survival. Through an expressive, painterly language, she captures the quiet strength required to navigate repression and stigma, asserting presence and endurance.

​Dr. Faith Nguthi, an agro-scientist and cancer survivor, whose lived experience offers another perspective on resilience: navigating illness, confronting uncertainty and finding one's way through the personal and professional questions that accompany life-altering experiences.

​Together, they will explore the relationship between the body and identity, the demands of professional life, the role of creativity and knowledge in navigating difficult experiences, and the importance of community, compassion and self-acceptance.

​Set within THE PINK EDIT's wider engagement with breast cancer awareness, this conversation moves beyond the language of diagnosis to consider the woman beyond the illness, the person beyond the experience and the life that continues to unfold.

​It is an invitation to look at resilience not simply as the ability to endure, but as the ongoing work of adapting, discovering meaning and remaining open to possibility.

​Two women. Two disciplines. Different journeys. One conversation about what it means to keep becoming.
