The finale launches by celebrating the collaborative spirit of UK and Kenyan artists in design and narrative. The Code & Couture – Wearable Tech Hackathon brings designers and technologists together to envision the future of sustainable fashion.
This focus on forward-looking creativity is mirrored in Hadithi Dystopia, an experimental performance that blends traditional East African storytelling with futuristic concepts, co-created using AI. The week also features the Urithi Residency and events like the CDNA Twende Soko: Nairobi Popup, which directly support the diverse voices and creative entrepreneurs powering the Kenyan creative economy.
