Nomadic African Studio 2026 — The New Non-Aligned

Nomadic African Studio 2026 — The New Non-Aligned
The African Futures Institute moved its studio to Accra for four weeks and pointed it at the 1950s Non-Aligned Movement — not as nostalgia, but as a working question about what autonomy looks like against digital empires and extractive economies. The framing is the part that lands: not utopia, not collapse, but speculative survival — how housing, labor, energy and ecology get made livable under pressure. Accra is the correct room for it. The city argued Pan-Africanism into being once already. Sitting through August 14, and almost nobody outside architecture knows it is happening.
