Chakula x A Space For Us (Photo Exhibition, Poetry & Artist Talk)

Join us for Chakula x a space for us, an event in collaboration with Vela (Photographer and Community advocate based in Nairobi) and Kairo Urovi (Photographer based in London).

a space for us is a collaborative photography and storytelling project by Vela and Kairo which highlights the diverse stories of trans-masculine and gender non-conforming individuals across the UK and Kenya.

For this event, we’ll be showing the collection of photographs, listening to poetry and holding a dialogue with Vela and Kairo alongside Adwoa Owusu-Barnieh (writer, poet, curator).
