UTA-Do 2023 - Workshop

This event – the closing of UTA-Do 2023 workshop – is an occasion to meet and interact with two of Nairobi’s most highly regarded artists, James Mweu and Peterson Kamwathi. Both in person and online, the two artists will engage in a conversation about how their different practices (dance/theatre and visual arts) can engage public space in a city like Nairobi. The exchange will be moderated by The GoDown Arts Centre’s executive director Joy Mboya, with imputs Dr Willie J. Wright, who is assistant professor at Rutgers University (jointly in the Geography and Africana Studies department), as well as one of UTA-Do 2023 guest kenynote speakers. This event is a collaboration between UTA-Do, The GoDown Arts Centre Nairobi, and is supported by a Seminar Series Award from the Urban Studies Foundation, grant reference: USF-SSA-230306.

"The USF International Fellowship helped me write two journal articles with an internationally renowned scholar in a world-class research environment. As a visiting scholar at Cardiff University, I was provided with convenient working space, good access to university resources, and regularly participated in enriching seminars and workshops. The very generous USF grant helped me cover all the costs related to my activities in Cardiff, making my life and work easier. Moreover, the fellowship boosted my motivation to further pursue my career in Urban Studies."
