If you see a well constructed rammed earth building anywhere in Africa, there is a strong chance a Ghanaian architect or engineer had something to do with it. Ghana has long proven how serious she is with this material.
The Falcon Cinema is the latest proof. Berekuso, Ghana. Studio NEiDA. Commissioned by film curator Jacqueline Nsiah. Expected completion 2027.
A purpose built cinema and cultural archive dedicated entirely to African film. Four buildings arranged around a courtyard drawn from Asante compound architecture. Earth materials throughout. Thatched palm leaf roof. A roof assembly that channels rainwater into the central courtyard and allows hot air to escape without mechanical cooling. The main cinema is an outdoor planted amphitheatre. Construction waste will be repurposed into the courtyard seating landscape.
250 and 150 seat screening rooms. A restaurant. An archive. An education hub. An outdoor cinema. Future filmmaker residencies planned.
A cinema of this scale generates consistent employment, attracts filmmakers, scholars, and tourists, and creates a market for local businesses around it. African film reels are currently scattered across institutions around the world, many never seen on the continent they came from. This building brings them home and builds the industry pipeline to train the next generation of African filmmakers on African soil.

For any British viewer, watching these Irish commentators explain why it is important for Ireland to boycott a football match against Israel is like being thrust into an alternate universe. One where morality – not money – guides the agenda.
A different world is possible.
Trump has lost in iran. They are fully in control. Global inventories are running out. Energy crisis about to hit that will make 2022 seem like a breeze. Asia, which is where roughly 40% of the world's manufacturing takes place is going to take the biggest hit first then Europe. We wont run out of gas or oil, whether you'llbe able to afford it is a different subject. Maga has literally made everyone's life in the entire world shittier other than the epstein pedo billionaire class they support. The world is being held hostage by the dumbest sacks of shit in our society. This is by far the worst strategic mistake of my lifetime and the repercussions will be felt for at least a generation. You cannot hate these ppl enough. Their stupidity has ruined us.
I’m glad I chose to wear African and diaspora brands throughout this tour. If I’m going to take Africa to the world, I want to take our brands with me too. WHICH IS ONE YOUR FAV LOOK? A thread
