Co-founder Linzi Lewis (aka Liliana Transplanter) was sponsored to attend the Slow Food Youth Network's Terre Madre Giovani We Feed The Planet event in Milan, Italy.

It was inspiring to see the energy and commitment of all the people from across the world, doing amazing things to conserve indigenous foods and cultures, diversity in agriculture and diets, and ensuring environmental sustainability and biodiversity conservation.

Although our contexts are different, we are fighting the same fight, homogenisation, commodification, and destruction of lands and knowledge.

Thank you for doing what you are doing, and thank you to the Slow Food Youth Network for existing, and allowing for PolleNation to participate.

Love and Respect

We AMbush the Joburg EcoMobility Festival

PolleNation was invited to transform a space, as part of the "Our History of Transport"exhibition, coordinated by The Coloured Cube, as part of the EcoMobility Festival. This Space Making component, is just what PolleNation's AMbush activations are intended to do, to facilitate the creation of productive, multifunctional and meaningful urban spaces, reflected local interests and local diversity.  See below to see exactly what transpired ;)

Before Shots of a neglected area in the old Sandton Taxi Rank, which is now being used for the EcoMobility Expo.

This site was truly a sight to sore eyes, with years of neglect, being used as dump site for  all types of materials including Car Oil. 

 

This eco-art activation Used a variety of mobility and transport related materials, all of which were repurposed and upcycled, the space was transformed into a magical pathway, bridging the gap between current understandings of space, waste and transportation, and finding ways to reimagine new possibilities.

   

This area has become an intimate space for story-telling, sharing experiences, and generating       ideas for a better future.
