Kenyan Rock Art: protecting the past, facilitating the future through immersive technologies, archaeology, and drama education

This article responds to Olof Franck’s vision of a less didactic and more creative approach to Education for Sustainable Development. We consider how a multidisciplinary applied theatre project, bringing together Earth Sciences, Ancient Rock Art, storytelling, digital technology, and drama education knowledges and techniques can foster a more creative approach. The article is rooted in our analysis of the African Rock Art: protecting the past, facilitating the future project. We reflect on the challenges and possibilities of engaging with issues of climate crisis, responsibility, agency, and action in the Korogocho informal settlements in Nairobi, Kenya. © 2024 The Author(s).
