“We all want a United Africa, united not only in our concept of what unity can connote, but united in our common desire to move forward together and dealing with all the problems that can best be solved only on a continental basis.” _Kwame Nkrumah, 1963
IT ALL STARTED WITH A QUESTION…
Welcome to the 2021 edition of African Crossroads, an experiment to intentionally build synergies between individual practices; to spread awareness, knowledge and practice about the changing relationship between humans, nature and technology; to organise societies in an ecologically benefitting manner for all forms of life.
For the first time in 3 years, members of this network experience what it feels to be borderless, to come together from across Africa and diaspora, and to reimagine what it feels to be united.
Under the theme of ``Re-imagining the pan-African dream
the 2020 edition balances an online and offline program of workshops, discussions, installations, augmented reality, live performances, and virtual exhibitions, with a complimentary ``Bira`` performance from our guest of Honor, Thomas Mapfumo.
Our founder & director, Adrian Jankowiak, was involved as a participant of 2019 African Crossroads that took place in Mombasa, Kenya | Nov 20-23.
Funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).
