Nairobi Litfest 2023 Edition
The NBO Litfest 2023 edition theme, Mtaa Narratives, was a call to explore cultural memory and the stories that ground us. Mtaa being kitongoji, neighbourhood, baze, hood, home; how do we negotiate distance from and proximity to our roots? What do we foreground? are there inflexible ideas about a place?
This edition started finding its answers by curating a programme across all three of Book Bunk's project libraries; each a colonial building re-engineered to serve their immediate communities as the primary audiences. A celebration of Mtaa Narratives recognized the importance of place in its complex plurality.
