Nguru Karugu, Sarah Waiswa and Ngartia Bryan with Beverly Ochieng

On identity

NBO LitFest 2024, 

To exist in fear or wracked with guilt diminishes our ability to fully engage with others. While these feelings can be self-propagated, external factors such as hostility, closed mindedness and non-acceptance serve as barriers. How we self-identify shouldn’t limit our ability to safely move through the world. Hear from Ngartia Bryan, Nguru Karugu and Sarah Waiswa, artists whose work bravely expands all the ways we can see ourselves by breaking silences and taboos through poetry, publishing and photography.

Featured artists: Nguru Karugu, Sarah Waiswa and Ngartia Bryan.

Moderator: Beverly Ochieng
