Screening of the documentary 'How to Build a Library'

Followed by a Q&A with Angela Wachuka in conversation with Romina Pons

Venue: Cineteca Rosalío Solano

Premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, How to Build a Library takes us to Nairobi to witness how two black women set about rebuilding what, until 1958, was a library exclusively for white people. The documentary is a fascinating exploration of colonisation and the power of individual and collective action. Following the screening, the founder of Book Bunk, Angela Wachuka (Kenya), will discuss the film with Romina Pons. Book Bunk is an organisation that promotes the restoration of some of Nairobi’s most iconic public libraries. Introduced by Blanmi Núñez.
