The theme ‘We Are The Ancestors’ for our 10th edition is both a tribute to our past and a call to action for the future.
Expect groundbreaking exhibitions, thought-provoking talks, and a celebration of the diverse creative talents that make Kenya a beacon of innovation.
Our community looks forward to welcoming you in 2025, our most ambitious edition yet.
When the Nairobi Design Week (festival) started in 2015, the word that fueled our vision was “Community.” Ten years later, that word remains at the core of everything we do. As we celebrate a decade of creativity next year, our belief in design as a powerful tool has only strengthened, deepening our commitment to showcasing innovation and the incredible people behind it.
As we prepare for the 10th edition of NDW in 2025, we’re excited to celebrate a decade of creativity under the theme “We Are The Ancestors” and invite creatives, individuals, collectives, corporates, SMEs, NGOs, non-profits, funding institutions, cultural institutions, and schools and beyond to apply for our open calls under the following categories:
