WILLISTON NORTHAMPTON SCHOOL 3023 CE - COLLABORATIVE ART PROJECT

In January 2023 Ekow Nimako travelled to Northampton Massachusetts to bring a new and exciting short-term collaborative residency to the students of Williston Northampton School.

For 5 days Ekow became a fixture in the Grubbs Gallery nestled in the heart of the campus, working with the students to produce the final artwork Williston Northampton School 3023 CE. The program drew upon themes of utopianism and social justice theory, while exploring the cognitive benefits of creative play with various monochromatic LEGO® elements.

The achieved initiative was to collectively build a futuristic architectural model of the entire school campus, enhancing the historic structures and geography along an inclusive and ecologically conscious narrative.

Throughout the collaboration the artwork was guided by an abundance of participant imagination and refined by the Ekow Nimako signature aesthetic. Thank you Williston community, for making this a memorable and impactful experience.
