NAKURU
Why Nakuru?
UNESCO named Nakuru to the Creative Cities Network in 2021 under Crafts and Folk Art, the only Kenyan city with that designation. Baraza spent months in the city listening through convenings, clinics and focused research, learning how ideas become work and reach audiences. We met makers and media teams who move between studios, classrooms and small stages and who asked for steady rooms, clear workflows and editors and peers within reach. The hub answers with practical space for production, small shows, editing and learning in one place, and a program built with local partners. Linked to Baraza’s other hubs, projects can travel when reach is needed while day to day practice stays rooted in Nakuru.

What’s on at the Lab?
Host Your Event at Baraza Media Lab - Nakuru
Set your private gathering at C.K. Patel in the heart of the CBD where guests arrive with ease and the city feels close. The space suits living room acoustic sessions for your audience, trainings and masterclasses that run clean, outdoor receptions on the balcony with a city view, hands-on workshops, fireside chats, and more in a setting that feels considered and calm.
Our team is on site to welcome guests, handle check in, prepare rooms and sound, keep time, and smooth the details so your program flows. If your idea calls for a quiet room, a classroom layout, or a small screening, we tune the setup to fit so you can stay with the people in the room and the work you came to do.
