ERE presents MOKORO on June 24th and 25th from 11am to 7pm, a multimedia exhibition at Gallery Mercier et Associes, 3 Rue Dupont de L’Eure, Paris 75020. Mokoro is a collaborative exploration of the sanctuary of sisterhood by Kristin-Lee Moolman and Louise Ford, featuring the work of Joan Otieno of the studio Warembo Wasanii in Korogocho (Nairobi) and their creative talents. For the past four years, Joan has taught her female students how to upcycle plastic polymers sourced from landfills in the informal settlements of Kariobangi and Dandora to make mixed media artwork and fabulous garments. The labor involved is self-evident, as is the talent. In the hands of these artists, substances destined for slow degradation become eccentric headwear and vibrant garments. Parallel to the exhibition, ERE and Farago Projects are working to supply long term support and exposure to Warembo Wasanii, assisting them in developing their skill sets and laying groundwork for future collaborations with fashion houses and other creative spaces.
