Together with the Talking Objects Lab, we are building an alternative decolonial archive; a space for African stories & realities, one that allows people in the Global South to engage with their histories.

Huge thanks to @MakawiRaga and @AfricaIai for pursuing deeper understandings of the past 3 years when so few have been willing to do so.

The plan to turn 30% of the earth into Protected Areas is based on a deeply unscientific and racist logic. It would be the biggest land grab in history, robbing over 300 million people of their lands and livelihoods. - @LongoFiore
