The House on Karafuu Street

Created and Curated by Ken Holm

Zanzibar, 1955. You are the young architect sent to mark Stone Town's crumbling houses for demolition, and the first door on your list belongs to a clove merchant whose daughter keeps his books, knows every stone of the house, and has no intention of letting you near it with a hammer.
