The Opportunity Factory is hosting this year's Nairobi Design Week, its 9th edition.

Under the theme We Got This, Kenyans got a chance to experience the talent and creativity of exhibitors ranging from fashion, art, technology, films, and photography.

Every year, the festival selects a theme that resonates with people's lives and feelings, which helps the team curate a unique experience from the many applications they receive.

"At Nairobi Design, we see how Kenyans harness the power of design to solve problems," Adrian Jankowiak, founder and director of Nairobi Design said.

The exhibition, which runs until March 17, also allows creatives to learn from one another and see ways they can collaborate to promote sustainability, environmentalism, and solutions in the craft, fashion, and art industries.

Rethread Africa, a team of four young Kenyans, Noreen Mwancha, Mitesh Varsani, Vincent Momanyi and Charles Oyamo, are showcasing their fabrics made from waste pineapple leaves.

The creatives source their products from farmers in Bungoma.

This comes with prize money and an accelerator program for the winners.
