We are proud to present Forest Notebooks by Mario Lewis, the first publication of the ‘Black Echologies’ series, an ongoing collaborative project between Chimurenga and Nyabinghi Lab, a Berlin based independent arts collective.
The ‘Black Echologies’ series challenges mainstream ecological discourse—its coloniality and exclusion of indigenous knowledge. Forest Notebooks brings together a (mostly) unfiltered interpretation of Lewis’ year-long journey working in the forests of Trinidad through striking illustrations and elementary notes.
Join us to celebrate the launch on May 8 via panafricanspacestation.org streaming live from Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), Berlin where Chimurenga will be in conversation with Nyabinghi Lab, Mario Lewis and forthcoming contributor Moses Mars.
