Creative and fun experiences in Nairobi

The lights are still on.

The name Ishi comes from the Swahili word meaning "live." We bring people together through creative events, art, and storytelling, and we are all about living in the moment here. Come to connect deeply, create freely, and leave with memories that stay with you.

The Shape of a Husband

He came back. But he was already here. A story about tenderness, memory, and the way love lingers long after footsteps fade.
