Join us for a special screening of the award-winning documentary - How to Build a Library.This film tells the story of two tenacious Nairobi women - Shiro Koinange and Angela Wachuka - who decide to transform what used to be a whites-only library until 1958 into a vibrant cultural hub. Along the way, they must navigate local politics, raise millions for the rebuild, and confront the lingering ghosts of Kenya’s colonial past.
