World E-Waste Day is next week. After several months of preparation, we want to share its programme with you. We would like to highlight several aspects of this day, because we remain faithful to our initial idea: to make this project a transdisciplinary project.

World E-Waste Day is just around the corner, it’s on October 14th.Like all these international days, its goal is to raise awareness about a topic that, despite the great weight it currently has, is barely talked about.

The consequences are dire, with informal recyclers risking their lives in toxic conditions and […]
A few months ago, in the framework of the IDÉES project (Impact des Déchéts Électroniques sur l’Environement et la Santé), we presented a preview of the Cebu e-jen performance with artist Anäel Nkeoua, ‘Prince Art’, during the OFF of the Dakar Biennale 2024.
