VENUES

Kilele is primarily happening in multiple spaces around The Mall, Westlands.


Over the past few years, The Mall has become a hub for young creatives, as arts and community organisations have moved into empty units, particularly in the basement.  Current residents of The Mall include Santuri East Africa, Creatives Garage, The Mist, Black Rhino VR, Zamani Skate, ‘Contemporary &’ and others.



For Kilele, the venues will be:

Creatives Garage

Formerly the Fem Lab, now the home of awesome. This space has played a key role in promoting and fore-grounding non-male participation in the Creative Sector. It will be the primary space for talks and panels.

Santuri Salon

The Santuri Salon is Santuri’s multi-functional space for workshops, performances, listening sessions, panel discussions and more. It’s also a place for DJs and music producers to access world class hardware and software Santuri shares with the community.

Classroom / Instrument Makers Lab

Normally the home for SEMA - The Santuri Electronic Music Academy - but for Kilele this space will be transformed in to Bond-like workshop for advanced vibe mechanics.  

Basscamp

This is our Pop-Up networking space on The Mall rooftop, which will be the venue for our soft opening event and a sundowner session on each evening.

 

Out Reality / BRBR

Black Rhino VR’s space for workshops and hackathons, this space will serve as the tech workshop venue for Kilele, hosting sessions by Ableton, FL Studio, Elektron and Bitwig.

The Mist

The now infamous underground club that has carved a niche into the cultural scene through its challenging and open music policy, and community aesthetic. 

Munyu 

The wonderful exhibition and performance space is also in The Mall basement.
