From the Blue Community Water Journalists Africa and their flagship project InfoNile:
Lake Victoria is Choking. Art and Storytelling are Helping it Breathe.
For a decade, NAAM Festival has turned art into action, using music, storytelling and performance to speak to climate change realities that lakeside communities experience daily.
As the drums began to echo across Dunga Hill Camp in Kisumu, Kenya, the sun was sliding into the waters of Lake Victoria, commonly known as ‘Nam Lolwe’ in Luo. The lakeside air pulsed with music, poetry and the rhythmic murmur of hundreds gathered under the sails of the Ziwani Amphitheatre, with artists, activists, youth, scientists and fisherfolk united by one purpose: to celebrate a decade of creative activism for Lake Victoria dubbed #JusticeforLakeVictoria.
