Over the past ten years I have started a wide range of initiatives pushing the boundaries of heritage and technology. These projects explore issues that are close to me at both a personal and professional level. I embark on them as explorations and opportunities to learn and re-imagine the ways in which technology can be of service to African histories.

CO-FOUNDER. 2020 – PRESENT

SAVE THE RAILWAY

Between 2012 and 2016, I traveled across Kenya to document the history of the Kenya–Uganda Railway, photographing stations in different parts of the country and recording memories associated with the railway. The project resulted in the documentation of more than 50 stations, as well as an exhibition, public talks, and a series of essays.
