What others have said about the show:
“Wow! I thoroughly enjoyed myself, and not only because the show tackles important issues, but because it does so in a wonderfully fresh manner, at once funny, thought-provoking, and subversive! Subversive because you’re causing us Kenyans to remember (and you know how quickly we like to sweep things under the carpet), to think/rethink, to question and to laugh at the “truths” that we believe about ourselves. Along with building superhighways, we must also build our spirit, our confidence, and our values as Kenyans, as human beings. Your performance made me very proud to be Kenyan!!-Rose Maruru

Twende Berlin Musical Documentary, Jun. 18 2011 @ Goethe-Institut
Urban Mirror is a public-art project which started in 2009 and aims to give a voice to the urban scene of Nairobi. After successful shows and events like Love Zone and Theatre Zone where collectives, groups and centres were featured that mostly work away from the official art world, Urban Mirror presents a new project: the documentary Twende Berlin.
This documentary is a film about urban spaces and the relationship to them as told through the eyes of a troupe of African Hip Hop artists in the streets of Berlin.
In 2010 the Hip Hop group Ukoo Flani went to Berlin in the framework of Goethe-Institut Nairobi’s project BLNRB. This gave them the chance to not only perform in one of Berlin’s most iconic venues, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, but also to meet different underground artists living and working there.
This documentary is not only a trip into the public space and public art scene of Berlin, but also a comparative study about the possible positive or negative impact of this emerging “creative class” in both Western and African metropolises. A film documentary about Berlin public space activism from an African perspective
when: Saturday, June 18 , 7 pm
where: Goethe-Institut Auditorium, Corner Loita/Monrovia-Street Maendeleo House Nairobi, Kenya
free entry
– Twende Berlin Documentary Screening
– Ukoo Flani Performance
