  • The People Shall — A Film on Kenya’s Gen Z Uprising

    The People Shall (2025) is a gripping documentary directed by Nick Wambugu and Mark Maina, chronicling one of the most defining moments in modern Kenyan history.

    When Kenya’s Gen Z took to the streets to reject the 2024 Finance Bill, they reshaped protest itself — using phones, art, humour, and digital mobilisation to force political accountability. What began online spilled into the streets, evolving into a movement that compelled the President to back down and permanently altered civic resistance in Kenya.

    This film captures that transformation: from hashtags to history.

    Beyond the story on screen, The People Shall carries a deeper purpose. After surviving state detention, director Nick Wambugu now faces Hypocellular MDS, a rare bone marrow failure disorder. Proceeds from donation tickets directly support his medical treatment — giving audiences a chance not just to witness history, but to stand in solidarity with the people who documented it.

    Select screenings include donation tickets and a Director Q&A session, offering audiences a chance to engage deeply with the story and its creators.

    This is not just a screening.
    It is memory, resistance, and responsibility.

  • Slow Is a Verb

    Slow Is a Verb is an intimate cultural gathering rooted in African philosophies of time, care, and repair.

    Hosted by Mumbi Poetry, alongside Mutete and 25SW4P, this experience invites participants into a reflective conversation on temporality, ancestral textile knowledge, and the cyclical life of clothes and objects. Challenging colonial ideas that value only the new, Slow Is a Verb reframes mending, reuse, and exchange as acts of resistance, remembrance, and return.

    The afternoon will feature:

    A live conversation on cyclical and relational time
    A clothes swap (bring up to 5 quality garments)
    Open mic poetry & storytelling
    Community exchange in a warm, intentional space

    This is a space to slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect — with our histories, our textiles, and each other.
