What we do

We are a creative empowerment hub dedicated to identifying, nurturing, promoting, and managing emerging talent across Kenya — with a core focus on poetry, visual art, and spoken word. At Talanta Point, we believe talent is not just a gift — it's a force for growth, expression, and transformation.

Talent Identification

At Talanta Point, we believe that talent is everywhere — in classrooms, neighborhoods, rural communities, and online platforms — waiting to be discovered. Our Talent Identification approach is proactive, inclusive, and intentional. We seek out raw, undiscovered talent in poetry, visual art, and spoken word, giving emerging creatives a platform to be seen and heard.

Talent Identification

How We Identify Talent:

Community Outreach & School Programs:
We collaborate with schools, youth centers, art clubs, and community-based organizations to spot young, passionate creatives early and offer them development opportunities.
Online Showcases & Competitions:
Through digital campaigns, virtual auditions, and themed talent challenges, we give individuals across Kenya a chance to submit their work from wherever they are.
Talent Scouts & Ambassadors:
Our network of scouts and regional ambassadors helps us tap into underrepresented areas, ensuring no talent goes unnoticed regardless of location or background.
Partnerships with Art & Cultural Institutions:
By working with existing institutions and art spaces, we create a bridge that brings grassroots creativity to the national spotlight.
Social Listening & Digital Monitoring:
We actively monitor creative content shared on social media and digital platforms to identify standout voices and unique styles that deserve greater exposure.

Talent Nurturing

At Talanta Point, talent nurturing is at the heart of what we do. We believe that raw talent needs the right guidance, resources, and opportunities to flourish into excellence. Once talent is identified, we walk alongside each individual to shape, sharpen, and elevate their skills through a well-structured, hands-on approach to growth.

Resource Access and Creative Toolkits
We provide curated toolkits, reading materials, practice exercises, and access to digital platforms that support continuous self-improvement.

Talent Promotion

At Talanta Point, we understand that having talent isn’t enough — it must be seen, heard, and experienced to make a real impact. That’s why we prioritize strategic and consistent promotion of the creatives we work with. Our talent promotion efforts are designed to connect poets, artists, and spoken word performers with the right audiences, platforms, and opportunities.

Our Talent Promotion Strategies:

Digital Showcases & Features
We highlight outstanding talent through curated online showcases, artist spotlights, and performance reels published on our website and social media channels. These features increase visibility and provide creatives with a professional digital footprint.
Live Events & Exhibitions
We organize and partner with local and national events where our talents can:
- Perform spoken word live
- Exhibit their art
- Participate in poetry slams and festivals
  This gives creatives direct exposure to audiences, industry players, and potential sponsors.
Media Collaborations & Interviews
Through strategic partnerships with media outlets, blogs, podcasts, and YouTube channels, we provide our talents with interview slots, artist profiles, and content coverage that elevates their public presence.
Brand and Influencer Collaborations
We help creatives align with relevant brands or causes to expand their reach and even earn from their art. This includes influencer gigs, event hosting, and campaign features.
Content Marketing Support
Our team supports talents in building engaging content calendars, creating visually appealing portfolios, and maintaining a consistent personal brand across digital platforms.
Networking & Exposure Opportunities
We connect talents with performance opportunities, open mic events, gallery invites, and creative networks that can lead to collaborations and paid gigs.
