“We don’t separate art and life from each other, we live it, it’s part of who we are and what we do. And we want to live together with the school through our life, process and different urgencies and necessities that spaces will bring and unfold for us”
“Let´s dream together!”

Artists Larry Bonćhaka (b. 1994, Accra, Ghana) and Sopo Kashakashvili (b. 1994, Tbilisi, Georgia) collaborate as an artistic duo, blending culinary practices, socio-political research, cross-cultural exchange, and community-led projects.
Working across installation, performance, culinary arts, ecological activism, and sound, their practice primarily engages public spaces, often site-specifically, to create immersive and participatory experiences. Through their interventions, spaces transform into platforms for gathering, exchange, and collective dreaming.
Their ongoing project and movement, LA CAOBA, creates spaces where humans and nature can coexist in times of ecological crisis, shifting land policies, and transnational climate urgency. LA CAOBA is a work on its own with or without us. Literally translating to ‘Mahogany Tree’ which mainly grows in subtropical environments.
Bonćhaka and Kashakashvili are founding members of the artists and architects collective commune6x3. Their work has been presented at Nassauischer Kunstverein Wiesbaden e.V.; Opelvillen Rüsselsheim; Theater der Welt (Frankfurt am Main); Kreßmann Halle Offenbach am Main; Diamant Museum of Urban Culture; documenta 15 (with commune6x3); Künstler*Innenhaus Mousonturm; Royal Parade Grounds (Kumasi, Ghana); Sakhile&Me Gallery; Frankfurter Kunstverein, Habibi Kiosk (Muchener Kammerspiele) among many public interventions and performances.
