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.
