The Kind Curious & Brave episodes
- Ubunifu Kenya - What can art do?
“We give them the tools to dream.”
In this first episode, Max and Mattia visit Ubunifu, a community art center in Mararani village on Lamu Island, Kenya, founded by Nyambura. They explore how art, safety, community, and love can help children discover their talents—and change the stories people tell about a place.
After meeting Nyambura and Anderson, the family reflects on an important idea: children need dreams, but they also need the tools, space, and support to help those dreams grow.
Key topics
- How Ubunifu is helping change the story people tell about Mararani village through ART.

About The Kind Curious & Brave
From the publisher's feed
The Kind, Curious & Brave podcast is brought to you by The Funnelogy Channel. Behind these stories is one simple question: what if we could build a different kind of…
future?
A future where we don’t take from people and the planet to make more and more, but learn to live with each other, care for the places we call home, and make sure there is enough for everyone.
Today's crises are, in many ways, crises of disconnection. Rebuilding our future begins with rebuilding our relationships: with the Earth, and each other.
Remembering that we are nature and we are not separate from it. We don’t have to wait for that future. People are already creating it. We tell these stories because when we see what’s possible, we can begin to imagine what comes next.
Join Max and Mattia as they interview change-makers, ask questions, and remind us to see the world through the eyes of children—the people who will inherit the future we are building.
