Art, Work, Dignity: Voices of Young Creatives from Nairobi’s Informal Settlements.

During the month of October, The Institute for Social Accountability (TISA), in collaboration with Christian Aid Kenya organized Creatives Dialogue Series across four informal settlements of Nairobi County – Dagoretti, Kabiria, Kibera, and Mowlem.

These dialogues brought together over 120 young male and female creatives, including poets, artists, dancers, graffiti, photographers, designers, and musicians, each carrying stories of resilience and struggle in an industry full of potential yet constrained by systemic, structural, and political neglect.
