Join us for a unique gathering celebrating innovation and nature stewardship as we launch Sovereign Nature Initiative’s partnership with the Kenya Wildlife Trust! This event is an exciting opportunity to connect with leading artists, technologists, conservation experts and wildly creative thinkers exploring the intersection of art, technology, and ecology. Light food and drinks will be served throughout the event which begins at 6pm, with remarks at 6:30pm and a fun party beginning at 8pm.

We gather on the occasion of the launch of our new data-art installation, "Tracing The Wild" , a bundle of interconnected artistic pieces generated from scientific conservation data reflecting the entangled interactions of lions and humans in the Maasai Mara. This installation will premiere at the innovative arts and design festival Nairobi Design Week, hosted this year at Nairobi's Opportunity Factory.

We're also excited to introduce our partner Moonsama, a vibrant community in the Web3 space, who is taking the lead in linking data about physical events to their storytelling in the virtual world. With their digital representation of the Mara lions, Moonsama is amplifying the ecological groundwork of the Kenya Wildlife Trust.

The panel discussion will feature experts from this ecosystem of partners, sharing their experiences and insights on the subject matter, and we’ll discuss how we help connect dynamic data about the wildlife with digital creatives, rendering the complexity of ‘nature’ as a powerful tool for new art and ideas.

After these remarks and conversations, DJ Jo Kisila will bring rhythmic flow to the party and set the mood for an unforgettable night of networking, connecting, and celebrating the future of deep collaboration between art, technology and conservation.
