Rock>>City>>Rock: Exhibition opening
2pm, 18 November 2023
Kamene Cultural Center, Ngong Road, Nairobi
What will the footprint of human action be long after we are gone?
Rock>>City>>Rock explored architecture as a geological actor. Reflecting on urban transformation in the age of the Anthropocene, it traced the everyday ways in which human efforts engage with earth’s materials to build urban worlds – but also, how uncertain these processes can be.
The exhibition is part of the ongoing collaboration between James Muriuki and Constance Smith. Through photography, installation, video, sound and a joint discussion, we bring our work into conversation with Nairobi-based architects Cave Bureau whose work addresses the anthropological and geological context of the African city in the Anthropocene.
Exhibition continues November 2023 – January 2024.
