This year, we invited past grantees to apply for the Follow-On Fund — a second round of the Catalyst Grant designed to enable 11 projects grow and build on the work they began. Below are the projects that received support.

All of them have upcoming events, and the season’s calendar will be updated with details in the coming weeks. Follow along on UK/Kenya Season 2025 to stay updated. 

A Space for us: A transmasculine visual odyssey

Photographers Vela Okindo (Kenya) and Kairo Urovi (UK) are teaming up to document and celebrate the stories of transmasculine individuals in both countries. Through cross-cultural exchanges and public exhibitions, the project aims to boost visibility, encourage inclusivity, and deepen understanding around themes of Diversity and Inclusion, Cultural Heritage, and Identity & Youth Culture.
