"Sherry Davis is a musician, filmmaker and curator whose current area of interest is Kenyan history and culture. She was born in London, UK to a Kenyan mother and Jamaican father.
Having toured internationally as a vocalist and songwriter with some of the world’s biggest electronic music acts, Sherry is now working as an independent artist and producer in afro-soul and afro-classical music. She composed the soundtrack to the short film ‘Remember Who You Are’ by Vogue artist photographer Asiko, which made official selections for Film Africa and Out of Africa Film Festival.
She is the project manager and curator of Ode to the Ancestors – a music, documentary and exhibition project that commemorates the Kenyan contribution to archaeology in Africa. Having secured funds from Arts Council England and the British Council, Sherry’s curatorial work has brought together National Museums of Kenya, the British Institute in East Africa, UCL, the Horniman Museum and National Archives in the UK to create an international exhibition of archive images that celebrate the pioneers of Kenyan archaeology and conservation.
Sherry has also curated a touring case of Mesolithic stone tools from the Horniman museum’s Kenyan archaeology collection. The case is currently touring institutions in South-East England."
