Cultural Resilience Through Storytelling

Across the Global South, historic cultural trajectories have been interrupted by processes of colonialism and the imposition of neoliberal development. With a focus on the African continent, this talk discusses how design – locally and globally – can be used to strengthen narratives that have been broken or undermined and to bring to the surface richer and more complete stories.

Speakers include:

Myles Igwebuike
Designer and Curator of the Nigeria Pavilion

Danielle Alakija
Lead Artist and Curator of the Global South pavilion.

The talk will be chaired by:

Nana Biamah-Ofosu
Architect, writer and academic whose major projects include curating the V&A exhibition Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence
