Located on Jambiani beach along Zanzibar's east coast, Drifting Cloud is a by Vincent Leroy that interacts directly with the wind. The sculptural work is constructed from carbon rods, joints, and kite- discs, forming a lightweight structure capable of responding to subtle air currents. The installation's modular components move independently while remaining part of a connected whole, generating a dynamic, constantly changing composition. Movements vary according to wind strength, ranging from fine vibrations to broader gestures, producing an organized yet unpredictable rhythm.

Tanzania has a first-past-the-post system, with the president and vice president jointly and directly elected via simple majority popular vote. They serve five-year terms, which are renewable once. The October 29, 2025 election is a little unusual, because current President Samia Suluhu Hassan is competing in her first presidential election. She took over as president upon the death of President John Magufuli in 2021. Hassan, the first woman to lead Tanzania, was his deputy.
