A LABORATORY FOR COLLECTIVE EXPERIMENTATION
We are both a medium (= we create contents) and a media (= a broadcasting hub) ; which means that together – creatives, searchers, activists…-, we propose formats to tell and build, in new ways, the world we (used to / want to) live in: inclusive, sustainable and unabashed.

A TRANSMEDIA PLATFORM
We propose online contents (articles, mixtapes, videos), organize events (festive, of art and/or academic) and develop products (fashion/design, publishing + a software)… following our own pace: slowly but surely.

AN AFROFUTURISTIC PROSPECTIVE
Our statement is that africanity passes through all – epochs, nationalities and interests. And we want to show that taking interest in these issues is no longer a simple humanistic duty, but a sustainable commitment, whether one is Afro-descendant or not.

A MULTIFACETED COLLECTIVE
The project was launched mid-2015 by Mawena. Today, the team consists of a dozen people, all volunteers. Though we keep exchanging and collaborating with more than 50 people worldwide!

We are turtles in a world of hares. That said, we want to challenge & change things on several levels, but deeply… And intuition, slowness and our mistakes are precious: it isn’t just about acting, but caring/thinking/healing.
