He writes a popular and widely read blog on the Kenyan contemporary art scene. ‘Brothers Karamazov' is from Ogonga's latest series ‘Playfully Serious', which is an interpretation of Dostoyevsky's philosophical novel that interrogates free will. Combining fiction with fact, it also explores the alcohol abuse in his neighbourhood.
