A PAN-AFRICAN ARCHIVE
What does the Pan-African archive look like? Sound Like? Feel like? Where does it begin and what are its limits? How is the archive expressed within our own cultural frameworks? Our work explores these questions. Our exploration is creating something beautiful. We are changing our narrative. History is healing. We cannot decolonise what was never ours to begin with - but we can always create. When we face the past, we understand the present. In understanding the present, we shape our future.
OUR MISSION
We facilitate heritage-based therapeutic interventions for people of African heritage rooted in our archives, cultural principles and technologies. Our work aims at creating critical learning spaces that support our collective repair.
OUR VALUES
Interdependence, integrity, participation, collaboration, creativity, community, wellbeing, tradition, resilience, self-determination.
OUR VISION
African people who understand our pasts and are physically, mentally and spiritually equipped to build successful, peaceful and joyful futures.
