Artists' Circle
Led by artists for both artists and consumers, we are an initiative founded with the intention of creating sustainable artistic ecosystems and reimagining creative education and entertainment in East Africa and the diaspora.
Everyone's Invited
We have many answers when asked who we are. The only thing we know for certain is that we're down for anything that helps push our art and culture forward.
