Nairobi Litfest 2021 Edition
The inaugural edition took place in 2021, and the theme "Writing African Cities" marked a momentous occasion: the 90th anniversary of Nairobi's oldest library, the iconic McMillan Memorial Library. We explored the city's rich tapestry of narratives and ideas, spanning 90 years of the library's legacy and a century of Nairobi's existence.
Throughout this edition, we delved into the fascinating realm of reimagining spaces with contested colonial and other histories, exemplified by the McMillan Memorial Library. We engaged collective imagination to uncover new perspectives and insights while honouring the library's storied past.
