Submit an activity
Submissions are open
Bring your workshop, performance or creative session to the festival. No experience is needed, and no permission is required.
The programme is built with you
There is no fixed line-up. The programme is assembled from what artists, makers and neighbours offer to host.
Space is limited. Submissions stay open until the programme is full, and then close. Once activities are confirmed, the schedule will be published on this page.
Where your activity can happen
At Africa Nomads Art Space on Kilima Road, or anywhere in the greater Mombasa area. If you have your own space, a partner venue or an outdoor location in mind, tell us in the form and we will work it out with you.
What we are looking for
Visual & artisanal
Painting, drawing, jewellery making, ceramics and other hands-on craft.
Movement & expressive arts
Contemporary and traditional dance, live acoustic music, theatre and improvisation games, yoga and movement.
Culinary & community gatherings
Food-sharing sessions, culinary craft, storytelling and conversation.
Anyone can propose a session, whether it is a hands-on workshop, a discussion, a musical set or a movement class. Everything on the programme is free to attend and non-commercial.
The shape of a day
A rough framework, to help you pick a slot. Family and kids events are designated on the published programme.

|---|---|
| Morning | Yoga, pilates, movement activities, and family and kids art sessions |
| Afternoon | Open workshops such as ceramics, drawing and theatre, alongside communal sculpture building |

- Access to shared community materials and tools
Materials for your session
We pool materials from shared community supplies and donated items. If your session needs something specific, tell us in the form and we will work with you to source it together.
