The Wild Future Lab is a speculative design and material exploration project imagining what sustainable fashion might look like in Nairobi in the year 2047. Through hands-on experimentation with natural fibers, upcycled materials, open source equipment designs and traditional techniques, the lab brought together artists, scientists and designers to question extractive norms and imagine a rewilded, locally produced future.

We Will Design 2026: HELLO, DARKNESS embraces design as a tool for subverting hierarchies and weaving together ecologies and technologies to imagine the cities and societies of the future.
It is an invitation to recognize the abyss — political, ecological, aesthetic — we’re living in, not as a place of fear, but as a space of regeneration, resistance, and imagination. Darkness here is not absence, but a fertile condition that embraces invisible gestures, marginalized knowledge, and luminous forms of resistance.
Join Us In The Dark.
From 20th to 26th April.
