“From Africa always something new” the Romans used to say acknowledging the resources of Africa in a way which seems strange to Modern ears. The current (re)version of the Modern Project’s treatment of Africa does not figure Africa as a place of abundance or innovation, occluding how the resources of Africa are appropriated by reifying them as ‘raw materials’.
Africa is a place of astonishing creativity and ingenuity, with our own systems. This blog is about how that creativity and ingenuity but also about how its limited by hegemonic systems.
