Ng'endo Mukii on the re-animation of indigenous people
Make. Change./Recorded 2015
A close reading, kept within reach.
Ng'endo Mukii takes african design as a lens on the larger question the festival keeps returning to: what design owes to the people and places it works among. The talk moves from specific projects toward a broader argument about practice.
Recorded in Kenya in 2015, the conversation is grounded in Ng'endo's own working method — the compromises, the constraints, and the moments where the work taught them something they didn't expect.
The closing turn is characteristic of the archive: less a conclusion than a provocation, handed to the audience to carry into their own disciplines.
Animator Ng’endo Mukii talks about her use of animation and movement to challenge deep-seated perspectives.
