Zoom Magazine is a platform for the young people of Nairobi. It is designed, written and founded by Usanii Lab, a collective of young creatives from Nairobi Eastlands. The magazine, which is both in English and Sheng, offers a stage for new talents and speaks with a fresh, bold voice about social issues faced by young adults as well as it entertains. Its first issue will be available on this evening.
New upcoming artists who are featured in Zoom Magazine will spice up the launch with their presence as well as with performances. The event will feature a well-known resident DJ, a live concert and a comedy act that will be sure to liven the crowd. Some artworks created by the Usanii Lab creatives will be on display as well, in the form of a mini exhibition.
Usanii Lab is part of the well-known community based photography and film project Shootback from Mathare Youth Sports Association, founded in January 2013.
