Wairimũ Nduba is a Kenyan multidisciplinary creative whose practice is rooted and guided by African sonic principles which hold music to be a site of communal gathering, healing, joy, and beauty. Her work sits at the intersections of sonic-visual archiving and curation. She is the founder of Wer Jokenya, a digital archival platform that celebrates Kenya’s nuanced and layered music history and seeks to make accessible the dynamic social and political interactions that are held within music histories across time and imperial borderlines. Nduba’s 18-year background in the field of ballet, first as a dancer and then as a tutor, also explores the ways in which the body exists as an archive, specifically expressed within the realm of African practices that held and carried forward knowledge through embodied movement and expression.
