Organic Knowledge produces images and ideas of displacement in collaboration with migrant communities, paying attention to aural and material culture informed by the journey, with the never ending willingness to create a collaborative archive of a knowledge system that remains marginalized and little known, standing as a counter narrative for social study and artistic re-enactment.

In 2023-24, the first edition of the project invites three duos for a research-action residency. Through field works and creative workshops, Emeka Okereke and Mathangi Krishnamurthy, M’barek Bouhchichi and Omar Berrada, Wiame Haddad and Léa Morin, guided by the artist and activist Yemoh Odoi AKA Yemoh777s, investigate the diversity of community practices that have the particularity of deeply rooting from vernacular traditions while at the same time, and despite all the odds, doing of the fragmentation, the organicity and the insurgence the non-negotiable conditions of their existence.
