DASH Festival 2: Sunny Dolat x Jim Chuchu, In Conversation

Join our very own Jim Chuchu and Sunny Dolat as they discuss the transformations of the events of 2020 and its impact on art and artists, the need for design to cater to a country’s needs, explore the concept of museums and much more!

Sunny Dolat is an independent curator, cultural producer and creative director, and one of the founding members of the Nest collective. Sunny centres his practice in making unapologetic statements about the beauty and dignity of black skin through works such as When We Are/When We Are Not and the fashion book "Not African Enough", a voyage into contemporary Kenyan fashion and exploration of wider issues regarding Africa's place in global cultural debate and dialogues.

Jim Chuchu serves as Co-founder and General Manager at the Nest in addition to being a filmmaker, musician and visual artist in his own right. His photography and visual art works have exhibited all over the world, and his “Invocations” series is part of the collection of the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art. Jim co-founded the collective, and has directed and scored the collective’s 2012-2019 film projects, as well as recording and producing the Nest’s music projects. Jim oversees strategic planning and program design at the Nest
