Route 125
Rasha
$50.00
Rasha — a Route 125 matatu whose name carries layered meanings in Nairobi slang. 'Rasha' can reference style, audacity, or the act of 'dissing' — all attitudes that resonate with matatu culture's confident self-presentation. Dennis Muraguri's woodcut captures the typography and graphic attitude that made this matatu a local talking point. Route 125 operates through busy Nairobi corridors where competition for passengers is intense. The Rasha name and its associated imagery gave this matatu a distinct identity that regular commuters would remember and seek out. The design likely incorporated elements that spoke to the crew's reputation for fast, reliable service. This reproduction print adds a slice of Nairobi street slang to your wall. It suits collectors who appreciate the linguistic creativity of matatu culture and want their art to reflect the city's dynamic verbal culture.
