Explore and engage with the creative objects, poems and performances generated as part of the Un/Making CSC research project. Inspired by Paulo Freire’s notion of ‘political dreaming’, this exhibition showcases creative and critical examinations of our world, and aims to foster a hopeful reimagination of alternative futures.
The items exhibited were created by people actively engaged in social change and development rooted in communication processes (theatre for development, community media, digital technology, community mobilisation, and more), either as practitioners in local NGOs (in Malawi and India) or as community citizens.
These objects were first exhibited at the ‘They Call it Sustainability’ held on May 15th, 2024, hosted by the University of Malawi.
