The Wild Future Lab is a collective of artists, designers, scientists, and community leaders working together to address the urgent challenges of climate change and ecological loss. Through creative worldbuilding, hands-on research, and community engagement, the project explores how local knowledge and rewilding practices can shape more resilient urban futures. Set in a speculative Nairobi of 2045, the lab draws from traditional craft, open-source tools, and natural materials to imagine how we might live with nature—not apart from it.
The installation includes textiles, tools, wearable futures, and interactive experiences that invite visitors to co-create their own wild urban visions. Participants can explore local environmental issues, tell new stories through the Wild Future Tarot, or join Happy Hour design sessions with the team. The project supports grassroots groups, raises awareness around ecological challenges in Kenya, and shows how collective creativity can help us reimagine the future of our cities and ecosystems.
