Acclaimed photographer Thandiwe Muriu had an artist talk and book signing event last Saturday at the Circle Art Gallery.

Hizi talks ni rare, so I’m glad I witnessed one. Danda Jaroljmek (Circle Art founder) moderated the conversation.

Tulijua more kuhusu Thandiwe’s journey na philosophy, the process behind her bold, eye-catching portraits, vile kazi yake huchanganua identity na historia, and why home and community matter to her.

Recap ya the full experience iko kwa blog.

Tupatane:

For over a decade, since I’ve known her, Liboi has stayed committed to her craft. Honing, experimenting, learning.

Last Wednesday, she took another step in her journey. She hosted her community at Munyu Space in Westlands for an exclusive listening experience of her forthcoming debut album, ‘Hatua’.

The album’s presentation mirrored the work and care that went into it. In the two years of its making, what began as a kalimba project evolved into a concept-driven 12-track album.

Friends and fans gathered, pamoja na part of her team and collaborators – Komora, Modest Chabari, Gaitho Kamau, Muhonja, and Wd Abbo – for a communal celebration of music. It was an intimate evening filled with reflection, love, and cheer.

‘Hatua’ comes out on August 28.

Set in the humid fields of Muhoroni, Kenya, 'Cocoa Dreams' tells the powerful story of Jaber, a brilliant nuclear physicist, who returns home after years abroad following the death of her grandmother.

As the granddaughter of an exiled opposition leader, Jaber inherits her family’s sugar farm with a bold vision: to transform it into a thriving cocoa plantation. But progress isn’t simple. Her ambitions clash with deep-rooted family tensions, buried secrets, and the weight of a complicated legacy.

Watch the trailer below ‪@peggentertainment1935‬.

'Cocoa Dreams' screens this weekend at Anga Cinema Parklands.

Ahead of the staging of this play, 'In the Seashell Hum', we caught up with the celebrated music producer Eric Musyoka to discuss his role as the sound and music director.

'In the Seashell Hum' is the latest play by award-winning author and poet Adipo Sidang'. It tackles the complexities of mental health through the layered story of Baraka, the embattled protagonist whose chaotic mind and distorted reality shape his constant struggles.

The play premieres tomorrow night, May 15, and runs until Sunday, May 17, for a total of 5 shows.

Beauty ya hizi Sunday Sessions huwa unpredictability – not knowing where the conversation will go ama nani atatokea. Na especially when ni late-night hours.

But it was a classic Sunday Session.

Tukiongelea impact/influence ya the Showman Residency, tulijipata kwa rabbit hole ya ku-discuss K-Shaka vs Wakadinali. Tuliingia machuom.

Ni conversations worth sinking your teeth into. Or are they?

Asante sana kwa familia: K(IX), Nyanchama, Romi Swahili, Genetic Disorder, na Wambui Karori.
