Wanjiru Koinange, Angela Wachuka and Keith Ang'ana in conversation

A Palace for The People: Where were you on June 25th?

Nairobi Litfest 2025, 
Book Bunk founders Angela Wachuka and Wanjiru Koinange host a special live edition of their podcast, A Palace for the People, an exploration of culture and history through shared memory. This interactive session traces the evolution of protest in Kenya as a powerful form of self-expression, resistance, and change, while reflecting on the role of public libraries as both witnesses to and participants in civic action. As part of the recording, the hosts will speak to Keith Ang'ana, Founder of Bunge La Mayut, a platform created for young people to gather and discuss the political affairs of the nation. They will also collect public responses to the prompt: “Where were you on 25th June last year?”, capturing personal reflections on a day that marked a pivotal moment in Kenya’s recent protest history.
