Join us for a screening of How to Build a Library, a compelling and inspirational documentary that follows Kenyan writer Shiro Koinange and publisher Angela Wachuka as they embark on a mission to restore the McMillan Memorial Library in downtown Nairobi.
Once a whites-only institution, the library had fallen into disrepair and neglect. Through their initiative, Book Bunk, Shiro and Wachuka work to transform the space into a vibrant, inclusive cultural hub that reflects Kenya's diverse heritage.
Directed by Maia Lekow and Christopher King, this film captures their journey of resilience, community engagement, and the challenges of confronting colonial legacies in post-independence Kenya.
