Afrofuturism in popular culture: Wanuri Kahiu at TEDxNairobi



In 2008, Wanuri completed her first feature From A Whisper based on the real life events surrounding the August 7, twin bombings of US Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam in 1998. The won 5 awards at the Africa Movie Academy Awards including Best Director and Best Picture. In 2009 she wrote and directed a short Science Fiction Pumzi that won Best Short at Cannes Independent Film Festival, May 2010 and took Silver at Carthage Film Festival Tunisia, October 2010. Wanuri is now adapting two into feature length narrative films.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a -like experience. At a event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded , where x = independently organized event. The Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Wanuri, this is great to hear to connect you, Just a Band, Richard Turere and other young innovators in Kenya whose stories I'm trying to tell and share with Americans. For me the ideas of you all are thrilling and give me a mission worth sharing on the web — inventing the future with African stories that inspire and empower others around the world — at Young World Inventors — with JAB music! Can't wait to meet you.- Diane
