#Borders - The Nest Collective in conversation (feat. Sunny Dolat, Jim Chuchu and Njoki Ngumi)

The Nest Collective In Conversation (represented by Jim Chuchu, Sunny Dolat, and Njoki Ngumi), considers the effects of borders on relations between and among Africans on the Continent. They discuss how art, culture, language, identity and colonial proximities have made kinships between the Continent and the black diaspora more challenging to explore. They reflect on the need for kind, honest, patient discourse by and among the kinfolk to unpack these ongoing conflicts and tensions.

Om Podcasten

African Mobilities examines the possibilities for creative intervention and strategies of interruption by way of obstructions, gaps, pauses, and logistical counterpoints that contest sedimentation and permanent enclosure. It advances towards a more relational, multi-scalar and multi-sited approach to an exploded space-time through which the majority of circulation occurs on the African continent. It connects architects and other creative practitioners, theorists, and scholars from fourteen different locations, including Johannesburg, Kampala, Addis Ababa, Luanda, Abidjan, Lagos, New York, Dakar, Nairobi, and Praia. Together, we hope to build a living archive of contemporary African thinking that presents alternative ways of creating urban realities.
