MOMBASA
Why Mombasa?
Mombasa has long been a crossroads — a place where cultures, ideas, and forms of expression have met, mingled, and evolved over centuries. Its deep-rooted Swahili heritage, global connections, and rich storytelling traditions make it a natural home for creative voices. Today, the city is home to an active community of media practitioners, artists, and storytellers who are building new narratives and pushing boundaries across the field.
Baraza Media Lab chose Mombasa not only for its historical importance, but for its growing potential — to support and spotlight local talent, to build networks of collaboration, and to ensure that the voices from this region are heard, supported, and celebrated.
