Protest Grammars

Protest Grammars: What Is This Gesture? explores the Lagos Lagoon in Nigeria as a site where geology, knowledge, and history are continuously shaped through relation. Resident Artist Maryam Kazeem invites participants to record their thoughts about protest in the future and watch their words initiate the energy that powers The Future Protest—a typewriter that spins a miniature trash-wheel in the Lagos Lagoon. Through this real-time encounter, audiences are invited to observe the lagoon as a geological space shaped by language and contemplate the surrealism of protest and poetic gestures.
