SUMMARY:A ProtoScore
DESCRIPTION:At the National Museum of Kenya\, Ford Hall \nA ProtoScore is a durational gathering of artists\, scientists and members of the public in Nairobi. \nThis is a mutually generative and creative process that fosters curiosity and connection. It is an experiment for scientists and artists to explore collaborations. It builds relational connections between artists and scientists through a non-hierarchical form of conversation\, where each person in the conversation has an equal voice. The conversation format was created together in Kenya between artists; James Muriuki\, Floor\, Jepkorir Rose and scientists; Hussein Abkallo\, Kelly Nakami and Peterkin Munywoki. \n  \nBiographies \nHussein Abkallo is a Biomedical Scientist working on broader applications of CRISPR/Cas technology and Synthetic biology in developing vaccines and establishing ultra-sensitive diagnostics. \nFloor Grootenhuis is a contemporary artist based in NY. Her performative practice is focused on invitation\, connection\, and identity.  \nPeterkin Munywoki is a Veterinary surgeon. He holds a BVM (2021) and an MSc in Veterinary Theriogenology (2023)\, both from the University of Nairobi. He is currently consulting for Zoetis Belgium SA\, a multinational pharmaceutical company. \nJames Muriuki\, is an artist who has primarily utilized lens-based media in his work. His practice revolves around the transition of society and the development of rapidly evolving urban spaces. \nJepkorir Rose is a curator working alongside artists and affiliating practices to create opportunities and spaces to encounter each other in areas of interest. \nNakami Wilkister is a vet/reproductive technology specialist in livestock reproduction\, genome editing\, veterinary science\, and stem cell culture. She also lectures at the University of Nairobi. \n  \nThis collaboration has been made possible by the support of Social Practice CUNY\, The Dr. Jayne Raper Lab at Hunter College New York\, Steve Kemp at ILRI\, and C& art space in Nairobi\, Kenya.
