African Design/2018/18 min/Reel № 18.001
ByMark Kamau
How a small Kenyan start-up is disrupting the way the internet works
Embrace the Unknown/Recorded 2018

A close reading, kept within reach.
Mark Kamau takes african design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Kenya in 2018, the conversation is grounded in Mark's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
In his Design Indaba 2018 talk, Mark Kamau talks about how Brck plans to give Google and Facebook a run for their money.
