🎞️ Join us for the launch of the ‘Gen Z and Politics’ project led by the French Institute for Research in Africa with local partners.

Across the colonial era, the struggle for independence, the one-party state, the fight for multiparty democracy, constitutional reform, and contemporary youth-led movements, songs have served as archives of resistance, giving voice to ordinary citizens when conventional avenues of expression were restricted. 💪🏾

How is Kenya’s protest soundtrack evolving today? 🎧🎼

Form ni artivism! 🌍🔥Kutoka enzi za struggle hadi the modern Gen Z movements, ngoma ndio archive yetu 🙌🏾

🐪 From herders to entrepreneurs: pastoralism in transition 🐂.

Pastoralism is not a practice of the past. It is a sustainable livelihood that must be supported through informed policies and regional cooperation.

The events brought together pastoralists, policymakers, researchers, and artists to celebrate the resilience of pastoral communities who continued to adapt while preserving traditions that have sustained them for generations.

Du pastoralisme à l’entrepreneuriat : une tradition en évolution.

🌿 Tuadhimishe urithi wa jamii za wafugaji ambao unaendelea kuishi na ku-adapt na wakati.
