My African Aesthetic
This podcast is part of My African Aesthetic.
On this Podcast, we shed light on the central and important roles Africans themselves have had, have and will have in creating sustainable neighborhoods and communities around the globe.
Our work centers African Aesthetics, African design philosophy and placemaking. We do this through dialogue, project work, research, documentation and education.
This podcast features thoughtful, constructive and reflective conversations with architects, artists, curators, designers, creatives, activists, innovators, community leaders and African design enthusiasts.
We hope this podcast helps you expand and deepen your knowledge on African aesthetics, African design philosophy and placemaking and its role in creating inclusive and sustainable communities in Africa and beyond.

2.5. Tapiwa Matsinde: Zimbabwe. England
Tapiwa Matsinde is an author, an independent curator, a content creator, a design consultant and design business mentor. Storytelling is at the heart of what she does. She draws a lot of inspiration from her Zimbabwean heritage and the rich and diverse cultural heritage from the African continent and African diaspora. Her practice is focused on shining a light on designers, artisans and creatives who are underrepresented in the creative industries in Africa and the African diaspora. She shares their stories, and helps them tell their own stories through her award-winning platform atelier 55; that started as a blog and has evolved into an invaluable resource in telling African design stories. She also hosts a podcast called " Behind The Design" where she engages in insightful conversations with designers and creatives from Africa.
