Clo Villalobos and Nikita Sena are friends who dream of creating a transnational collective of artists, activists and healers to support each other in creating alternative futures rooted in sustainability in all its forms. They believe there is immense power and wisdom in transnational solidarity that can strengthen local socio-environmental justice work.
Clo (she/her) currently finds home in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil where she helps coordinate a network of favela-based socio-environmental justice projects. Clo believes in combining transnational perspectives with local alternatives to oppressive structures and social norms. Her dream is to co-run a community library/café that brings together people of all ages and backgrounds to think, talk and act on accountability and healing justice.
Nikita (she/her) is a British-Ghanaian intersectional feminist, with a background in human rights and a love for music, literature, film and dance. She is interested in dismantling existing norms and systems, and in exploring how we can reimagine and recreate the world around us. While a curatorial resident at be’kech, Berlin (now Kultur NeuDenken-Oyoun) in 2019, Nikita created and facilitated the workshops SEND N(U)DES and WHO’S THAT GXL, part of a series dedicated to using art as a medium to explore socio-political issues.
