2026 Theme: Speculative Cartography
We exist in continuous dialogue with the world and ourselves. We hold the ability to question representation and reconfigure reality through decisive action, bold dialogue, and fearless organisation. The 5th edition of Nairobi Litfest examines the power of speculative cartography and the South-to-South geographical connections that render new worlds visible. It is a joyful congregation of writers, artists, and thinkers whose imaginative work and ideas have transcended borders.
