Just Winging It

The Tanzanian Life Project

KMO talks with hacktivist and organic chat client Willow Bl00. Willow has just returned from working on a variety of projects in Tanzania, Kenya and Peru where she focused on issues ranging from the use of technology to ameliorate the suffering caused by heat waves and providing for the needs of climate and conflict refugees to keeping the emerging practice of participatory mapping from degenerating into yet another means of extracting wealth from poor nations. The episode ends with a description of The History Manifesto, a project co-authored by Willow's roommate, Jo Guldi.
