There are so many arenas in which the visual arts can intersect with a community. It doesn’t always have to be about creating a finished looking object for the wall or a pedestal. Sometimes it’s about the journey, the way a united vision can bring people together to consider and solve big questions in the real world. It can be about connection, a way of processing thoughts and mapping out future dreams. In this interview we are traveling to Lamu in Kenya, where Ajax Axe has set up Space Station #2 to invite local artists to collaborate in imagining and designing a framework for a shared vision of the future.
