The discussion is part of the activities leading to the launch of Kwani? 5, Part 2:Revelation and Conversation.

Part 2 of Kwani? 5, the second 400 pages of a twin edition, starts off where the 1st volume ends, to further examine Kenya in the context and violent aftermath of its 2007 elections. Writers, photographers, poets, cartoonists provide collective narratives on what we were before, and what we became, during the epochal first 100 days of 2008. The issue also features a extended travel piece based in Uganda that comparatively explores the concept of ethnicity, and the history of a peoples in a space other than our own.

The panelists will include:

• Joy Mboya – Kenya Burning Exhibition
• Billy Kahora – Kwani Trust
• Boniface Mwangi – Photographer
• Patrick Gathara – Cartoonist
• David Kaiza – Writer
• Earnest Waititu- Mainstream media monitor
• Tom Odhiambo – Facilitator
