Nomadic Arts Festival


Nomadic Arts Festival's Image
The festival showcases and preserves nomadic communities’ rich cultural heritage that has been passed down through generations and fosters collaboration with contemporary artists from Kenya and beyond, fusing ancient and present-day art forms to show how we can come to modernity from a place deeply rooted in tradition. Building on the success of the Turkana Artists Xchange, the festival seeks to make a lasting impact by creating a platform for artists from nomadic communities to showcase their incredible work to national and global audiences.

The festival is an inspired experience that combines passion, excellence and unique forms of expression to highlight and preserve art forms from the region and create connections across cultures through music and art.
