Art has long served as a catalyst for social change, a tool for healing, and the heartbeat of collective resilience. This November, that synergy takes center stage as the Sister Darling Movement, in partnership with Female Poets Kenya, presents Sister Darling Season 5 (Nairobi Edition).
The event is dedicated to the theme of Artivism, celebrating women championing change through art, content creation, and media. It is convened by Kenyan spoken word artist, artivist, creative facilitator, and co-founder of Freedom In Healing, Felicity Mudis. The Sister Darling Movement brings a deep commitment to gender equality, self-identity, and mental wellness through creative platforms.
This edition headlines the brilliant Nyanduko Nyabuto, a dynamic radio and television host, digital content creator, and entrepreneur behind the activewear and loungewear brand SETT 254. Known for her authentic storytelling, magnetic screen presence, and drive for purposeful growth, Nyabuto reflects the core message of the event: using creative voice to spark meaningful community impact.
Attendees can expect a space centered on voice, vision, and networking to honor women creators shaping Kenya’s contemporary landscape.
The showcase forms part of Sanara, an inclusive creative industries program supporting young Kenyan women and men. The initiative is run by the Mastercard Foundation in partnership with key sector leaders such as HEVA Fund, SNDBX UBUNTU, Baraza Media Lab and The GoDown Arts Centre.
