This exchange grew from a long friendship between the Wajukuu Arts Collective in Nairobi and the Berlin-based NGO Club of Engineers & Friends (CEF). Rooted in Lunga Lunga, Wajukuu uses art to address poverty, violence, and the lack of opportunities for youth. Together with Berlin University of the Arts, the partnership created a space where students from Nairobi and Berlin co-create, reflect, and design together.

The name Wajukuu means “grandchildren” in Swahili and stands for a dignified future for coming generations. It reflects the shared belief that real change arises when different knowledge systems and experiences meet.

This magazine documents the (un)equal structures we encounter, such as gaps in access, mobility, and opportunity, as well as the values and visions that connect us. It is both record and resistance, because mutual understanding is the foundation on which every real exchange must stand.
