Kilele Summit 2026 - Nyokabi Kariuki as part of MIZIZI Ensemble at The Rift, Nairobi, KENYA

After their electric 2025 performance Resistance, Mizizi Ensemble returns to Kilele, not with answers, but with deeper questions.

The experimental supergroup takes the stage at The Rift for a new work that continues the conversation they began last year. With Labdi Ommes (KE), Monrhea (KE), Nyokabi Kariũki (KE),Bernt Isak Wærstad (NO) and Jane Arnison (AU), Mizizi now ask: what remains?

If resistance carries the promise of hope, change and freedom , what does freedom actually mean? Freedom for whom? At what cost? How is it lived, contested and embodied across different contexts?

What remains… invites the audience into a visceral ritual of sound, space and gathering ,exploring freedom as both a promise and a paradox. Join us at The Rift - Manohar Center on 25th Feb from 8:00pm - 10:00pm.
