Waendao wawili hukumbushana - Two travellers help each other remember
This Kiswahili proverb celebrates the beauty of communal gathering and memory grounded within the setting of a journey – a process of learning and sharing.
As part of our Culture Catch Up, African Digital Heritage is excited to bring to life a series of public history talks.
These talks aim to deepen engagement with our blooming community of friends and like-minded individuals interested in history, culture, and technology. They are centred on African and African diasporic realities and revolve around interesting history projects, archives, museums, technology, and other emerging topics in this expansive and beautiful space.
Our heartfelt desire is for these public history talks to create a space that enlivens and enhances the strong relationships that exist across the art and cultural spheres, both here on the African continent and in the diaspora.
