Stories carried by the coast
Past and present meet at the water’s edge.
Independent stories of art, language, music, design, food, architecture, memory, and the changing life of the Swahili Coast.
What we follow
Culture as it is lived, made, remembered, and remade.
Original commissions grounded in place, voice, and attentive collaboration.
Place and memory
Buildings, streets, islands, languages, archives, ecologies, and the histories held within them.
New currents
Contemporary work, youth culture, migration, technology, nightlife, and changing creative economies.

After the monsoon.
