Public Project
No More Gentleman's Agreements
Summary
A long term project documenting the supply webs, ecosystems and farmers that grow and work with fashion’s raw materials.
WIP of leather, horn & brass in East Africa. We start at a ranch and abattor in the Ugandan countryside, then an abattoir in Kampala. We see the communities and landscape between those locations before moving to Nairobi, and the brass and horn artisans.
The title comes from a brass and horn artisan in Nairobi. He was the all too trusting victim of a bad deal, and made a really stern statement “No More Gentleman’s Agreements”
I would like to also document Salt, Coffee, Chocolate, Sand, Rare Earth, Silk ( I’m sure I can keep going)
