My African Aesthetic
This podcast is part of My African Aesthetic; a platform that centers research on African Aesthetics, African Design Philosophy, and African Placemaking in African and African diaspora communities. Our goal is to contribute to the body/canon of knowledge on African aesthetics through research, documentation and education. By interrogating ways and levels of engagement in placemaking; we intend to bring to attention to the central and important roles Africans themselves have and have had in creating sustainable neighborhoods and communities. We encourage dialogue and collaboration to ensure an inclusive, human centered and authentic shared learning platform.

Reflections on Season 1_Eunice and Penina
After such a rich first season, Eunice and Penina (co-hosts) sit down and reflect upon key themes such as: the role of identity and knowing ones heritage when designing in the African context; the value of telling our own stories, in our own African way and lens; and how our education system needs to stay relevant to meet the demands of today's landscape; that emerged from our conversations with our guests.
A huge thank you to all our guests for sharing their stories and invaluable experiences with us. To all our listeners, we appreciate your support, messages and words of encouragement. We look forward to building upon ideas from season one, in addition to introducing you to a new group of designers and architects living and practicing on the continent and the diaspora.
