How we connect and what we use.
Following the words of Sénamé Koffi Agbodjinou, the first African technology was the group. What happens when we consider our relations as a tool for advancement? When we think of technologies in and of counterpublics, we consider the connections between people that all at once affect change. What objects – autonomous, disobedient, repurposed – do we use to construct counterpublics that offer immediate solutions, responsive services, and creative ergonomics?
Think of:
Multi use spaces, repurpose, food culture, negotiation, colours, abundance in scarcity, activated streets, adaptable things, illegal, ergonomic, immediate solutions, responsive service, abandoned spaces, maintenance, basic services, autonomous design, storage, logistics, hustler's spirit
