nairobi beyond foto
BEYOND FOTO festival
a city-wide gathering of exhibitions, installations and public exchange discourses.
the nairobi BEYOND FOTO festival is a city-wide gathering that reflects the dynamic range of photography. the festival incorporates exhibitions, outdoor installations, interactive displays and experimental formats that challenge conventional exhibition formats.
we develop thematic focus that invites artists, curators and partners to rethink the possibilities of photography in relation to material, space and design.
the festival unfolds across multiple sites such as industrial buildings, cafés and community spaces. these environments become active stages for workshops, talks, portfolio reviews and photo book and print sessions.
by embracing traditional and unconventional venues, the festival transforms the city into a living gallery that invites the public to engage with photography in new and unexpected ways. we organize activations to ensure the festival reflects the breadth of creativity across the city.
