Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam is pleased to introduce the recipient of the first The Stedelijk x C& Editorial Fellowship, Wanini Kimemiah, an artist and editor based in Nairobi.
The idea of The Stedelijk x C& Editorial Fellowship is to create a space centering around the specific craft of editorial work, an opportunity which hardly exists within fellowship and/or residency programs. This fellowship furthermore provides a platform for Wanini Kimemiah to explore editing in the most various ways and forms. Thematically they will look at the varied relationships that we have with the natural world and how they can be captured in written and visual work.
This fellowship is a new initiative that invites a young editor to produce a special issue within Stedelijk Studies. Texts will additionally be published on contemporaryand.com.
Wanini Kimemiah is a visual artist and writer from Nairobi. Their artistic practice is a research and process-based exploration of the idea of the sensorium. Using a variety of media as sensorial tools that range from painting, collage, lens-based media, textile-based media, and alternative processes in cyanotypes, they cultivate an awareness of the world they inhabit and examine how it functions especially outside of that which human-centric society has deemed unimportant or unremarkable. Their writing practice, through fiction and art writing, builds upon their artistic practice and concerns itself with speculation and inquiry into the material conditions of life. They have served as Visual Arts Editor at Enkare Review.
