Voices from the Community, Media & Audiences
My most memorable moment so far was travelling to Vancouver
to perform at the TED 2025 Conference. Standing on that stage reminded me of how far I’ve come. Turkana Artists Xchange has opened doors I didn’t know existed and given me the courage to
see myself as an artist with something valuable to share

The Turkana Artist Xchange Initiative is one example of young creatives re-imagining their futures and inviting us to their ‘World-making’ project as they reframe old, demeaning narratives about place and people

It's been a great opportunity to come together and interact with young minds from the Turkana County. I look forward to more to come
