The exchange moved across culture, fashion, design, art, sport and food, using place and proximity as the core of the experience.

I spent a day with creative collective @199xorg in Limuru, a small village outside Nairobi. While chatting about our creative endeavours, we wandered the streets and mixed with the locals. As night approached, we stopped at a butchery for fresh beef with ugali. Thank you @capturedbyodede @mbaalamwezi @odiiyo @kennedymirema for sharing your culture and inspirations. ⚫️ Shamba la Mawe means “Garden of Stones” in Swahili and is a local name for Nairobi. It speaks to the city’s raw spirit: gritty, unfiltered, full of life. Together with local creative @KennedyMirema , we created a visual essay on Nairobi’s creative underground, capturing the city’s essence through its people and communities. A dream commission made possible by @KLM and @PhotoVogue . Special thanks to @alessiaglaviano @kayseellis @kennedyMirema and above all the beautiful people of Nairobi who stood before my lens and shared their stories.
