Arriving at your Malindi workshop
Malindi is well-connected locally and regionally. While Malindi does not have a mainline railway station, it is served by Malindi Airport (MYD), offering domestic flights and connections from international hubs. For those travelling by road, the Malindi Lamu Road (B8) and the Malindi Mombasa Road (B8) are the primary arteries connecting the town to other major coastal centres and inland regions.
Within Malindi, local matatus and tuk-tuks are readily available for transport around the town and its immediate surroundings. For groups arriving by coach, arrangements can be made for drop-off and pick-up at the workshop venue, and we will advise on suitable parking options for private vehicles in the vicinity of our chosen workshop space.
Local culture
Malindi's creative context
Malindi's artistic landscape is perhaps more subtle than some larger cities, yet it is rich with cultural expression. While the town may not be widely known for extensive public graffiti walls, you will find vibrant colours and traditional artistry in various forms, from painted dhows in the harbour to intricate kanga patterns in the markets. Local artisans often display their craft, reflecting the Swahili and Mijikenda heritage.
Our workshops aim to tap into this inherent creativity, encouraging participants to draw inspiration from Malindi's unique blend of history, natural beauty, and vibrant community spirit. We focus on fostering individual and collective artistic expression, rather than replicating an existing street art scene, allowing participants to contribute their own mark to Malindi's creative story.
