#STGE – Surviving The Gig Economy! What does it take to thrive in Kenya’s world of literature and cultural work? 📚 In this new episode, we sit down with the brilliant Angela Wachuka, co-founder of Book Bunk, to talk about facing the odds, reshaping Nairobi’s public libraries, and what that means for how we experience knowledge, culture, and community. From the unpredictability of the literature space to the wins and lessons of building public cultural institutions… this episode is full of insights every creative needs to hear. ✨ Tune in! And while you’re at it… How To Build A Library premieres TODAY at Motion Cinemas.
