We partnered with Create The Space to produce this documentary titled “THE CREATIVE PROCESS” – highlighting the journeys of seven established Kenyan artists from diverse backgrounds to communicate the difference between a talent vs. skill, and how intentional support both locally and globally is key to the sustainable success of Kenyan creatives.

The film was sponsored by the Global Apprenticeship Network (GAN), a skills-building organization seeking to understand how Kenyan creatives distinguish between a talent and skill, and how much talent vs. skill is required to be a successful artist with the possibility of nurturing additional pathways to employment (livelihoods).

The film features:

1. Bensoul (musician, songwriter, producer, and instrumentalist)

2. Naddya Adhiambo (animator)

3. Chelwek (illustrator, muralist, and graffiti artist)

4. Emma Cheruto (architect and musician)

5. Avido (fashion designer)

6. Samuel Karongo (carpenter and sculptor)

7. Trevor Maingi aka: The Mentalyst (photographer and videographer)
