Working with Ghana ThinkTank
Terreform
In January, at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale, Terreform joined forces with Ghana ThinkTank to help solve diversity problems identified by residents in Houston, Texas. Ghana ThinkTank works with communities in 'developing countries' to propose solutions to the issues plaguing more economically developed regions. Drawing on their experience living in the diverse, multicultural, and secular city of Kochi, residents came up with insightful and creative grassroots solutions to problems related to racial identity, religious intolerance, and resentment towards undocumented immigrants. The solutions will be implemented by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts at CounterCurrent 2017 arts festival in Houston.
The images below are from two focus groups that Andrea Johnson, Terreform's Research Director, participated in: one with volunteers at the Biennale and one with students at Aquinas College.
