Naitiemu's talk will highlight how creative expression can serve as a bridge, preserving culture while also shaping the future. Guided by the African philosophy of Ubuntu, she will emphasize the role of female energy in this transformative journey of connecting past, present, and future. Naitiemu is a Kenyan material, production and performance artist. Her practice focuses on finding her identity as an individual connected with community and nature; guided by the African Philosophy of Ubuntu.
She explores diverse materials and processes, telling emotional stories on female energy, culture and mental health awareness.
She has been privileged to document stories from the indigenous Maasai community of Twala Tenebo Women village exploring their history and culture through photography and video interviews, 3d scans & VR, and a reimagined future through performance art, with a team of 13 other female creatives, where Naitiemu was the lead artist.
This project aims to create a lens connecting our past, present and future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
