Overview

‘Rewind, Remix, Reclaim’, The Alliance Française de Nairobi and the Goethe-Institut Kenya, with the support of the French-German cultural cooperation fund, shall present a series of activities in July 2025 to mark the 40th anniversary of the third UN World Conference on Women that was held in Nairobi in 1985.

Under the label ‘Rewind, Remix, Reclaim’, this Festival will take place over the same dates as the 1985 event, that is 15 to 25 July. The festival will be an artistic exploration of the legacy of the UN World Conference on Women through the lens of today’s feminist movements and global and local socio-political shifts through feminist video and film screenings, panel discussions and workshops, experiential art installations, and performances.

The first two days of the Festival, Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th July, will be organized and curated in partnership with the UN Women East and Southern Africa Regional office based in Nairobi.
