About Recentred Africa
A Nairobi practice for stories held by the people who live them.
We create visual, written and audio narratives that honour context, complexity and lived experience. We are intentional about how those stories come into being.
Why we exist
Recentred Africa exists because we reached a limit.
A limit with narratives that flatten complexity. A limit with stories about Africa that prioritise spectacle over agency. A limit with processes that extract, simplify and move on.
Another way is possible: rooted in curiosity rather than assumption, in listening rather than rushing, and in collaboration rather than control.
