Creative Residency & Research Project

Lamu, Kenya     2024/2025       

A creative residency and research project which invites selected Kenyan and Swiss creatives to explore the topic of mangrove ecologies through experimental research.

The goal of the project is to create artistic outputs based on:

investigations of material, environmental, economic, societal, and cultural relationships associated with mangrove ecologies.

explorations of intrinsic capacities and agency of mangroves as interconnected beings who adapt, transform and interact, inspiring models for more harmonious and inclusive cohabitation between humans and their environments.

This project is being coordinated and implemented with the Lamu Youth Alliance and Planisphere.
