Over the past week, we’ve had the privilege of working closely with the Mosopisyek, an indigenous community that once thrived in harmony with the forests of Mount Elgon before being displaced. Through a series of creative output workshops, we explored their lived experiences—how they navigate displacement, climate change, and the realities of healthcare in resettlement zones.
We experienced their daily lives, we listened, learned, and walked with them—through community visits, fireside conversations, and hands-on workshops. We saw firsthand how they have adapted to life outside their ancestral home. With restricted access to their forest, they have become skilled farmers, mastering irrigation to sustain their crops. Where healthcare is scarce, they rely on generations of herbal knowledge to treat common ailments.
This is a community that has endured immense hardship, yet their story is not just one of loss—it is also one of resilience and ingenuity. We are committed to telling their story as they have shared it with us: a story of dispossession, but also of adaptation, strength, and an unbreakable connection to their land.
