STUDIOS [for]
WORK-IN-PROCESS designs and makes for namesake brand, WIP. The lab plies available materials, crafts, and tech, processing work to transfer design among agents, and reduce waste.
LOCALE GO generates architecture+construction manuals. Modules case study indigenous and common spatial languages, generating flexible systems to figure form+space to sites. Locale Go saves on the time and cost required for custom design.
CONCEPT SPACE combines the professional + artistic studios in Cult Meraki for versatile projects. As prototypes for ideas, spaces program for arts, culture + lifestyle – through galleries, guest villas, residencies and journals (print/online).
DESIGN SUPPORT translates and documents ideas for persons/institutions: Developing concepts, models (digital+physical), visualization (photo + film), and construction.
M+ plays beyond professional restraints nurturing space for connecting artistic outputs + potentials with patrons + projects + support: Aiming at deeper and accountable collaborations for mutual progress between artists, project-partners and communities.
Intention of Practice
We focus creativity as a tool for uplifting life + space… rousing ideas and projects through our studios
Cult Meraki streamlines artistic + professional studios to sensitively process work. For us, ideas+experiments begin with space [whether by consciousness, terrain, sheet or screen]
Searching into possibilities for projects goes over contexts of place, history, culture, aspiration, aesthetics, flexibility, utility… in considering how imagination and design affects behaviour, utility, health, mood and potential.
To boost creativity through spaces in Accra and further, the syndicate fuels workshops, labs + exhibitions.
