KINI KINI MEANS LION IN FONGBÉ LANGUAGE (BENIN).

WHAT IF A SYMBOL, A SOUND, AND A PURPOSE COULD FUSE INTO ONE FORM?

KINI KINI TRANSLATES THE SYMBOLIC AND SONIC POWER OF THE LION INTO A TYPOGRAPHIC SYSTEM THAT EMBODIES RAW, NATURAL ENERGY. IT IS PART OF AN ONGOING RESEARCH PROJECT CALLED EVERYDAY PLAYGROUND. EVERYDAY PLAYGROUND IS A SERIES OF DESIGN EXPERIMENTS ENGAGING EVERYDAY AFRICAN CULTURAL ELEMENTS NOT AS FIXED HERITAGE, BUT AS LIVING MATERIAL — OPEN TO PLAY, TRANSFORMATION, AND REINTERPRETATION.
