On Tuesday 4th August, 32° East held the Ecotonal Readings Convening: Library, Landscape, and Sustainable Futures supported by Guest Artists Space (G.A.S.) Foundation Guest Artists Space Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation Yinka Shonibare Foundation

Dr. Anna Adima led a presentation on the history of sustainable art practices in the region highlighting how local cultures of making were passed on through apprenticeships and how this reframes notions of sustainability.

Artist and printmaker Kajebe Jacob Joshua then led a practical workshop on sustainable print making practices focusing on clay, barkcloth and Compresssed Earth Bricks as both printing mediums and surfaces.

Ecotonal Readings drew from ‘ecotones’, a term that describes a transitional zone between distinct ecosystems, positing the 32° East library and climate conscious building as active ‘edges’ or ecological thresholds where knowledge, materials, and communities intersect and human, architectural, and environmental archives interact.

The event was part of The AAL Lab Convenings which brings together a network of libraries, publishers, archives, and wider audiences. The series of convenings forms part of Re:assemblages, a programme hosted by Guest Artists Space Foundation and Yinka Shonibare Foundation and curated by Naima Hassan.

The AAL convening series is made possible through the generous support of the Terra Foundation for American Art.
