Shoes(Life) on the line

Credit: Sirdart|Anwar Sadat

Some parts of Nairobi would shock you when you come across shoes hung on electricity lines. Why would someone hang shoes on electricity lines? Well, in my hood, Kibera, this is how reformed criminals mourn and remember their dark past. A tour around my neighborhood witnessing such might appear to a first time visitor as primitive ghetto culture.

Did you know that this phenomenon traces its roots to United States? It has a deeper meaning to those who understand it in Kibera.
