I’ve always believed that music should be more than something we hear. It should create worlds, tell stories and bring people together 🌍

For our 10th show, we have a new personality, and it’s: SLIGHTLY SCANDALOUS. Not the kind of scandal that lands you in trouble… apaanaa. The kind that makes life a little more interesting. The kind where you finally say what you mean, dance like nobody’s judging, hold eye contact a little longer, and allow yourself to feel things fully.

Luo Love Sessions • The Audacity Edition

A festival curated to understand the Kenyan shilling. Every-bit of what makes the KE shilling as we know it. Importantly, how to merge macro economics with the coins in your pocket. MnM, as we call it, will be a journey through the Kenyan currency. Explored in the drunken lecture format of HNW. History, Now, What.

The festival will be divide into three parts, all accessible on admission.

• Mashilingi stage ~ here we will unpack the history of the Kenyan currency and every economic turbulences that have affected it from time in memorial to date. This class will seek to draw patterns and give context of the current financial environment we exist in.
• Manoti Stage ~ this stage will tackle the economic expenditure of your country. We will look at how the country makes, collects and spends every coin. As we seek to understand why finance policies exist as they do or made as they are.

We will have a brief panel to merge all these worlds together with personal finance. What does this mean for you and how can you take advantage of or participate in this macro economics tango! Fun, art, culture, community and everything that curates an experience of immersion into an experience will be here. The lectures will run co-currently and one will have to choose their poison. For the intellectually greedy, you can move and jump around as much as you can!

On the 24th of October, we’ll be launching a very personal memoir, to us. The memoir of Dr. Naomi Nyakinyua, our chief editor. She is a remarkable woman, and reading about her life, so far, will be nothing if not inspiring. Come to find inside stories on the founding and running of Qwani as an organisation, her schooling days and more.

In addition, we will be running a memoir writing masterclass, on how to write your own memoirs and autobiographies! All this will be happening at the Alliance Française Library, Utalii Lane from 2-5pm on October 24th.

Absolutely free entry and you are all welcome.
