Imaginative Futuring for Social Change

“Art Is Not a Thing” Podcast with the S+T+ARTS Prize Africa winners Kairos Futura

Check out the Ars Electronica Festival Podcast “Art is not a Thing” episode, where we talk to members of the Kairos Futura collective from Nairobi, Ajax Axe, Abdul Rop, and Willie Ng’ang’a.

Their project, The Wild Future Lab, won this year’s STARTS Prize Africa, recognising pioneering projects in Africa that catalyse social change by blending science, technology, and art. The Wild Future Lab not only creates a blueprint for the future but tries to build that future with resources available in the present.

Art Is Not a Thing is produced by Ars Electronica and developed in collaboration with Ö1​.
