Compound13 Lab
An experimental design and media anti-lab in the heart of Dharavi, hosted and led by ACORN India, supported by UK’s AHRC &🌍Challenges Research fund.

It has never been more critical to bring our collective voices together to infuse hope into the climate agenda and combat climate injustice.

Connecting Habitat(s), is a collaborative project exploring the local and global impacts of a fast changing planet, how we experience these differently, and our search for synergies, solidarities and creative solutions. The images here are extracts of work-in-progress from the artists, responding to different prompts, from using soil as a connecting element between people and earth, to observing movement in nature and reproducing it into materials.
The name Connecting Habitat(s) arrived from the questions:
- Habitat is a place where an organism makes its home - What does home mean to you?
- How do we create a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing world?
The project seeks to engage communities local to each artist and enhance a culture of exchange in a process of shared storytelling through the #GlobalWe portals.
The full body of work will be displayed at the portal at SPACE10 in Copenhagen until May 17, 2023.
The participating artists are: Natascha Muzira (Kigali), Leikun Nahusenay (Addis Ababa) @flying_spoon, Masai Sepuru (Johannesburg), Amrita Gupta - CASP (Navi, Mumbai) @casp.india @amrita_gs, Hafiz Rancajale @hafizrancajale and Otty Rancajale (Jakarta), Inge Agnete Tarpgaard (Copenhagen) @ingetarpgaard, Rene Hyashi (Mexico City), and Suresh Kumar (Bangalore) @sarjapura_curries

It's a pleasure to watch our current residency artist @abhijitpatro at work alongside children of Dharavi.This workshop has encouraged them to be critical of their surroundings and have prepared them for intervention in public spaces through moving image. Each session has deepened their observations and has helped extract the vaccume they understand themselves to be in. These sessions have been key in sowing in them the seeds of an art form based on collaborations. We thank you for being an integeral part of the Compound 13 Lab residency program.
