When the wastelands on the slopes of Mount Kenya were given to poor local farmers to provide livelihood for them, they began  producing sustainable material from large stinging nettles growing there. Through cooperation with a clothing brand, Green Nettle makes fabric from stinging nettles that can grow on the steep slopes of Mount Kenya National Park.

Good News from the Skies

Good News from the Skies

Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
