Occupying Africa: Prototyping a Transformal Makerspace Network
Experimenting with the varied contexts of work, living, education and making/producing throughout Africa, DK Osseo‐Asare and Yasmine Abbas – both members of the Architecture and Engineering Design Faculty at Pennsylvania State University – have co‐founded and developed the Agbogbloshie Makerspace Platform (AMP). They outline the background and functioning of this enabling system that encourages participants to use the low‐tech resources around them to build their skills and change their environments.
