Sunday Salon comes to Nairobi!

If I could clone myself, this is where my Nairobi clone would be on March 18th.....

A warm welcome to Sunday Salon Nairobi, Kenya!

The first ever Sunday Salon Nairobi will be held on March 18th, at 7pm at Kengeles, Lavington Green.

This salon sparks a series, which will be held every third Sunday of the month. Nairobi is the third city to take on the Sunday Salon series, after New York and Chicago. Sunday Salon founder and co-host, Nita Noveno, based in NY, is an alumnus of the kwani? Litfest, which was held in December 2006 in Nairobi and Lamu.

This inaugural Sunday Salon will feature Dayo Forster, Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor, Muthoni Garland and Stanley Gazemba.

Once again, Kwani Trust will facilitate an exciting, innovative event for writers and lovers of literature. Sunday Salon Nairobi will cater to prose, allowing four writers to read their work in a garden setting enhanced by live music. This is reminiscent of the kwani? Readings, which grew in popularity to give way for the ever-popular kwani? Poetry Open Mic, held every first Tuesday of the month at Club Soundd.

kwani? (Kiswahili interrogative loosely translated as "what for" or "why") is a journal founded by some of Kenya's most exciting new writers and funded by Kwani Trust.
