New Pro Helvetia project: "Life between ebb and flow"

Nora Naji (Graduate Network African Studies)

With Synergies, the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia supports research-based and process-oriented programmes that foster exchange between art, science and technology involving organisations in Switzerland and across the world. Furthermore, Synergies encourages programmes which spark new approaches, methodologies and connect knowledge from different contexts.

Nora Naji's (Graduate Network African Studies) project is titled "Life between ebb and flow". This hybrid residency and research project invites Kenyan and Swiss creatives to explore mangrove ecologies in Lamu, Kenya. The goal is to inspire models for harmonious cohabitation between humans and their environments. The creatives will conduct research and share their insights through various creative formats informed by science and technology. The project promotes peer learning, transformative knowledge production, and collective action across continents.
