Urban Explorations

A collaborative project during Nairobi Festival of Performance and Media Arts, shaped through art and urban space.

Project text

Colour of peace, explored through Nairobi’s urban spaces.

During Nairobi Festival of Performance and Media Arts, Tell Me worked with artists and participants around the festival theme “colour of peace”. The process included lectures, workshops, performances and film documentation.

Mathare became a backdrop for short contemporary dance performances, with inhabitants taking part. The films and live choreographies were presented at Goethe Theater of Nairobi.
