Project Details
Description
My Mark: My City was an initiative by UN-Live, the Museum for the United Nations and in this instance was a collaboration that also involved Hope Raisers, a NGO based in the Korogocho informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya that uses the arts and sport to encourage active citizenship amongst young people from the slums. Dr Liguori had been working with Hope Raisers on GCRF projects addressing sustainable urban transport in Nairobi and they wished to develop their storytelling activity and develop a digital storytelling studio in the slum. Building on The Reasons in the Fens, a public storytelling performance event in Cambridgeshire, that had itself been inspired by a traditional form of community conflict resolution from Sardinia, the team reimagined The Reasons for Nairobi, with a focus on the issues raised by the Dandora Dump Site, which is located nearby and is a source of significant environmental pollution and poor health outcomes, as well as a source of income for many residents. The event took place from 19th-21st September 2019.
