Justin Elumn

Justin’s identity, roots, and curiosity about how communities carry knowledge across generations led him to the Bonderman Fellowship. As a Bonderman Fellow, he will travel across Latin America, the Middle East, and East and Southern Africa to explore how landscapes, cultural expression, and lived histories function as systems of knowledge. He is drawn to places where listening is still how knowledge lives, carried in oral traditions, textiles, music, dance, and land. In a moment when this knowledge is disappearing faster than it can be preserved, Justin seeks to listen with care and curiosity while there is still time.
