He's had a couple of exhibits at the Luggage Store Gallery in SF.
In 2002, Kitundu was part of an engaging three person show at the luggage store with Edgar Arceneaux and Kamau Amu Patton, where he created and installed Mutato Nomine de te Fabula Naratur, a month-long site-specific work that invited a population of urban pigeons to take shelter inside a creative enclosure built into the windows of the gallery. Birds would perch inside the built space, visible outside to the public, but only in the gallery through looking holes. The weight of the birds triggered sound installations and turntables inside the gallery.
