What does it take to build community in one of Africa's largest
dumpsites? In this episode, Cricket Writes from The Artistic
Junction Collective talks about the reality of daily life at
Dandora Dumpsite and community efforts to create change through art
and collective action. Cricket walks us through the physical site
and the social structures that govern it: the hierarchy between
"big fish" and ordinary waste pickers, the struggle for school
fees, and the dangers workers face without compensation or
protection. You'll hear how The Artistic Junction Collective uses
theatre, film, and poetry to address gender-based violence, provide
alternatives to crime for youth, and work towards establishing a
community art centre that offers residents a space to tell their
own stories. Participating in this episode are also Geoffrey
Karani, Kennedy Kiige, Wambui Gitangu, Susan Nyambura, and Ann
Mega. Recorded on site at Dandora Dumpsite in Nairobi, Kenya, this
episode showcases the harsh realities of working in waste and how
communities respond to systemic neglect with creativity and
solidarity.
