Aerial views of the Shela village, The Lamu Island, Listening to the Rift Valley project, 2021
Shela village is an old fishermen’s post and lies just on the edge of the dunes forming the backdrop to the sandy beach and open waters of the Indian Ocean. The architecture and the layout of the village houses built of coral bricks follow the Swahili architectural language, complete with flat roof terraces and thatched shady towers.
The flat roofs of the Swahili architecture provided a perfect stage for the installation and performance SINA SIRI NINA JIBU.
