Kwani? is a journal, a performance, a website and a way of life. Founded in 2003 by Binyavanga Wainaina and a cohort of the most exciting young writers in Kenya, Kwani? has thrust African literature into the 21st century. We publish the hottest new journalism and fiction, cartoons and photography, poetry and experimental writing on the scene, pushing literary boundaries so far they end up falling off the page and landing on stage: Our monthly Open Mic and Sunday Salon events have become a staple of Nairobi’s nightlife, drawing everyone from hip hop kings and queens to university students and professors alike. To top it all off, the annual Kwani? Litfest, held in the first two weeks of August, draws an international cast of celebrated writers to Kenya for the ultimate celebration of all things literary.
