Unseen NairobiWood Ave, Nairobi, Kenya
Join Child.org for our first event in Nairobi: a screening of Aya of Yop City (2012) at Unseen Nairobi, the warm, funny animated classic adapted from Marguerite Abouet’s graphic novels about growing up in 1970s Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire. Aya is 19, focused on her studies and sure of her future, while her best friends would rather be out dancing. When an unplanned pregnancy hits her circle of friends, the whole neighbourhood gets pulled in, and Aya ends up holding everyone together. After the film, stay for a short panel discussion on womanhood, motherhood and how community-led approaches are making pregnancy and birth safer in Kenya.
