Introducing THe Imagination Station, OUR Latest Love Child for a Rewilded, Imaginative Future
The Imagination Station, is a fully off-grid, mobile creativity lab will travel between Nairobi and remote Kenyan communities. The interactive design studio enables participants to imagine rewilded futures, create prototypes, and develop real solutions using locally available materials and art and design tools available at the mobile studio.
The project was commissioned by TED Countdown as part of the TED Countdown Summit 2025 (June 16–18 in Nairobi). The Summit convened 500 global leaders – innovators, scientists, artists, and activists – to tackle climate challenges and explore solutions.
The Imagination Station addresses the growing disconnect between people and wild places that limits our ability to imagine sustainable futures. In Kenya, many wilderness areas have become exclusive tourist destinations, cutting local communities off from landscapes once integral to their lives and culture.
The mobile laboratory will connect urban artists from indigenous backgrounds with their ecological heritage while supporting young people in remote areas who feel pressure to abandon their cultural traditions and relationship to their landscape.
THE WILD FUTURE LAB WINS THE ST+ARTS GRAND PRIZE FOR AFRICA FOr 2025
The Wild Future Lab imagined Nairobi in 2045 as a metropolis where ecological systems and urban life have been transformed through regeneration and biomimetic design. This speculative worldbuilding project explores how fashion can respond to—and help facilitate—a transition toward rewilded urban spaces. Set in a future where abandoned greenhouses and forgotten infrastructure have been reclaimed by native flora and fauna, the project included an exploration of textiles, machines, and garments that exist at the intersection of locally made materials, adaptation, and ecological integration.
The conceptual foundation of The Wild Future Lab emerged from urgent questions facing many African cities: How might we design for resilience in the face of climate uncertainty? What relationships between humans and non-human species could flourish in post-extractive urban environments? How can fashion serve as both a practical technology and cultural narrative in rewilded spaces? we should make a purchase. Tap into your creativity. You’ve got this.
