The Feminine and The Foreign - Nairobi: Trailer Up Now!

We are thrilled to announce that the trailer of the Nairobi chapter of our documentary film ‘The Feminine and The Foreign’ is out now! We were beyond grateful to have the chance to reflect on and highlight the organising, community work and movement building going on here in our own home, through the kind and considered partnership with the Wiesbaden Biennale that resulted in these films. 

This edition, one of two made at the same time, explores and pays homage to the work of  Kedolwa Waziri, Ruth Khakhame, Phelister Abdalla, Ava Mrima, Mumbi Makena and Neo Musangi, citing successes and failures in Black African movement building, considering how healing is taking place within these movements, and reflecting on how love and hope are being fostered, even during really difficult times.

This chapter of the film was co-directed by our very own Noel Kasyoka and Njoki Ngumi. 

Stay tuned for more details on the film’s release and screening dates!
