    Pwani Tribune – Passion for Coastal Culture and History Interview with/mit Albert Mwamburi engl/ger

    Screenshot 2021 11 17 122905

    I recognize the need of bringing these other Coastal cultures to prominence. The kind of prominence that Swahili culture enjoys. And there’s actually so much to write about them. When you mention that the Swahili historical evidence is readily available, I would like to bring to your attention that there are also some caves in Taita Taveta County that very few Kenyans know about. These are the kinds of things I strive to highlight.

    We do not avoid conflicts, but certainly this project has become very big and has connected many houses. It is also an opportunity for our house to learn from it for future projects, to grow from it and also to learn through dialogue and discussion with those affected, the representatives of the communities.

    Si Hene, in her own words "serves to preserve the archives of the Chieftaincy and traditional culture of Ghana, bringing accessibility and awareness of our culture. We provide a deeper perspective and preserves the legacy of the individuals that once ruled from the 1800s to the modern day. We hope through this foundation to reclaim the power as Ghanaians and bring more accessibility to learn about our royal history!" Si.Hene is very sucessful on social media, shares many unseen photos and film clips and comments.

    We will go as deep as possible until we cannot recover any artefact. Prof. Kusimba informs. And even as they dig, there is still no evidence of any Arab presence in Gede, contrary to popular and persistent belief.

    Sie lassen Comics für die Bildungsarbeit produzieren, konzipieren Ausstellungen für Schulen, entwickeln Projekte für Deutschland und Kamerun. Die Initiative Perspektivwechsel e.V. aus Berlin ist getragen von Menschen aus Kamerun und Deutschland. Was beide Kulturen auch verbindet, ist eine gemeinsame Vergangenheit. ===Faites défiler vers le bas pour la version française. Eine Vergangenheit, die vielen Menschen in Deutschland, gerade auch jungen Menschen nicht klar ist. Denn die koloniale Vergangenheit Deutschlands liegt schon über hundert Jahre zurück. Und doch liegen gerade in dieser Kolonialgeschichte viele Ursachen für Ungerechtigkeiten bis heute begründet. Aber auch dem Vorurteil entgegenwirken, die Menschen in Kamerun wären immer nur Opfer, ist Teil der Arbeit. Aufklärung und Interesse wecken: Junge Menschen für Themen begeistern, zu „empowern“, komplexe Zusammenhänge sichtbar…

    The White Savior Complex – Is Self-Hate to Blame? by Lorna Likiza For German Version please scroll down I am currently reading Out Of Darkness, Shining Light by Zimbabwean Writer, Petina Gappah. The story follows the events just after the death of Scottish Physician, Explorer and Missionary, David Livingstone, and how his African companions decided to transport his body to Bagamoyo so that it could be further transported to his native land for proper burial. It’s historical fiction at its finest but one character stands out for me. Jacob Wainwright. Rescued as a young boy from being sold into slavery by the British, Wainwright is enrolled into the Nassick Mission School in Bombay where in the process he becomes…

    Wer weiß noch von den Forderungen aus den 60er Jahren, oder zur großen Kulturschau FESTAC 1977, als Nigeria die berühmte Ida Maske ausstellen wollte, die Ende 19. Jhd geraubt wurde? Savoy, die auch im Stiftungsrat des Humbodt Forums ausgestiegen ist, hat bisher nicht zugängliche Quellen und Archive gründlich erforscht. In vielen Dokumenten, die das Buch ausführlich dokumentiert ist auch eine strukturelle Arroganz, teilweise sogar Rassismus offenkundig, wenn sie auch eine unheilige Kontinuität zwischen NS-Bürokraten und späteren Museumsleitern berichtet. Über vier Jahrzehnte habe es die westlichen Museen erfolgreich verstanden, die Kunstschätze in ihren Museen zu behalten und alle Forderungen ab zu weheren. Dies ist in der Öffentlichkeit fast in Vergessenheit geraten. Dank Savoys Einsatz, auch in der Kommision von Frankreichs…
