Matuta

Matuta — a Kacose Sacco matatu whose name plays on the Swahili word 'matatu' itself — is a self-referential piece of Nairobi pop culture. The design celebrated the matatu as an institution, with imagery that highlighted the iconic minibus's role in daily Kenyan life. Dennis Muraguri's 2022 woodcut reproduces the original livery's confident lettering and graphic details. There is a deep affection in Nairobi for the matatu as both transport and symbol. This print captures that affection, turning the vehicle into its own subject — a matatu about matatus. It is a knowing wink to everyone who has ever squeezed into a packed minibus, negotiated a fare, or felt the bass rumble of a matatu sound system. This print is ideal for anyone who has experienced Nairobi's matatu culture firsthand. The A3 landscape reproduction makes a warm, nostalgic addition to a living space, studio, or collection of transport memorabilia.
