This July, we gather for Heritage in the Digital Age: An Exploration of Indigenous Knowledge and Technology, a four-day hybrid symposium running from 23 to 26 July 2025 at the National Museums of Kenya, with online sessions happening throughout.
We kick off on Wednesday, 23 July with pre-symposium conversations hosted on X (Twitter Space) via ke_British from 11:00 a.m – 1:00 p.m. EAT / 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. GMT, followed by an evening gathering.
This leads into two full days of in-person and virtual programming on 24 and 25 July, featuring:
- Keynotes and spotlight talks
- Interactive panels and case study presentations
- Film screenings, exhibitions, folklore games, and youth-led sessions
- Dedicated online experiences, workshops, and speed dating

We’ll close on Saturday, 26 July with immersive experiences including curated walking tours, cinema in nature, and online policy discussions focused on culture and innovation.
