Africa Nouveau is the only event in Kenya that allows revelers to camp at the event venue for three days and three nights of fun. According to the curators of the highly anticipated event, "Africa Nouveau ascribes to the Afrobubblegum philosophy that states that African art can be fun, fierce, fantastical and frivolous, with no other intended aim but to increase joy". I gotta say that what caught everyone’s attention though were the gorgeous art installations at the venue that made for aesthetically pleasing and Instagrammable photo backgrounds especially for the social media savvy party goers.
This year, the theme was an infusion of 'African and out of space' and trust Nairobi millennials to step out in their best fits for a day festival, especially when the weather allows. Check out what people wore.
