Storymoja Nairobi 2013, 

In 2008, Kwani Trust produced a collaborative visual and written account of the 2007 elections and its violent aftermath in two journals that have been described as a ‘reservoir of public memory...’ For the 2013 elections, Kwani started collecting material in 2010. The Kwani panel will look at key aspects of the elections: mainstream media, civil society, online and social media, photography and poetry. It will host writers, artists, journalists and activists of different genres on covering the elections: fiction, blogging, investigative journalism, essay and memoir on the elections.
