4real is a television series which sees prolific music producer Sol Guy take artists like Joaquin Pheonix, Eva Mendes and MIA to areas of the world where young leaders are, often under extreme circumstances, working for change on some of the most pressing issues of our times. The latest installment of this great series is 4Real Kibera; Kibera being the capital of Kenya and the largest slum in Africa. In late 2008 Raila Odinga became Prime Minister in a power share deal with President Mwai Kibaki; the fallout of the election saw political violence that left 1200 dead, 300,000 displaced and the city of Kibera in tatters. Although things seem to have settled now, Kenya is still a struggling country. This Wednesday, QLD artist network, Bandwagon, is presenting the Australian launch of 4Real Kibera. Head down to oxford Arts from 8pm for screenings of 4REAL episodes as well as an exhibition from 20 of Australia's most respected underground artists. Entry is by donation or $10 after 9pm.
