A local and international comedian, an emcee, a media personality, a brand ambassador. Meet Eric Omondi, Kenya’s star comedian, the Unga Wa Dola brand ambassador and a judge in the Art For Peace campaign.

He is a respected celebrity who is ranked alongside Trevor Noah, Basketmouth and other leading comedians in Africa. He is also the brand ambassador for OLX. Never be cheated by appearances though. There is more to Judge Eric than cracking us up with is ingenious comedy! His impressive portfolio includes being the KWS Rhino ambassador to help protect the endangered species.

Can you outdo his comedy and humanitarian works with an original artistic creation about peace in Kenya?

She is the General Manager of the most influential arts and culture support organization in Kenya, the GoDown Arts Centre. Meet Judy Ogana, a Fine Arts graduate, an experienced graphic designer and an acclaimed art teacher.

The highlights of Judge Judy’s career in arts management include a seven-year stint with Kuona Trust, a 2008 participation in the prestigious Kennedy Centre Fellowship Programme for Arts Managers in Washington, Minneapolis and NewYork, and a 2010 participation in the Australian International Cultural Visits Programme.

Your task is to make sure this appointee of the East African Biennale Committee is going to be impressed with your work of art.

He is a director, a singer, a thespian, a teacher, a judge and a household name in Kenya. You are familiar with him in his star role in the 2013 Kenyan film “House of Lungula”, and as the no-nonsense judge on Tusker Project Fame.

Meet Ian Mbugua, a renowned personality in Kenya’s film and theatre industry, the manager of Burundani Theatre at Brookhouse International Schools, and a judge in the Art For Peace campaign. He has over 30 years of experience in the industry and is vastly educated in education, psychology, theology, PR, sales and marketing.

Judge Ian is an ardent believer that everyone is entitled to their opinion, and he has been known to voice his opinions quite strongly. The question is, is his opinion going to favour your #ArtForPeace submission or not?
