Into The E-Metropolis: Residency

Into the E-Metropolis is a workshop-based initiative focused on reshaping the narrative of Ghana's relationship with electronic waste, particularly at TANTRI, Cape Coast. Rather than subscribing to the simplistic notion of technology being discarded in Ghana's "computer graveyards," the project seeks to illuminate the complex ecosystem of second-hand computer dealers, repairers, scrap-dealers, and metal casters. Operating through the lens of Afrofuturism, it will spark meaningful discussions and workshops involving these workers in order to collectively explore the past, present, and future of their knowledge and practices.
