“Utetezi” is a Swahili word meaning advocacy, protection, or standing up for something. The name reflects our commitment to elevating creative work through knowledge, insight, and informed cultural development.

We integrate artistic processes with structured inquiry. Through feedback systems, cultural analytics, and data storytelling, we turn creative experiences into insight and evidence that support program refinement, strategic decisions, and impact assessment.
