"until tomorrow" @nafets_reretier

yesterday i got to see the work of james barnor at the @nubuke_foundation. i love love love african photography, so this was big. james barnor (born 1929) is one of the most longstanding photographers on the african continent and i am so happy that he gets to experience how much people cherish his works. this visit was amazing. and also @nubuke_foundation is such a beautiful spot. i am in love with the way in which the building and the garden complement eachother. ah and yes, i am in accra at the moment😁 . . . . . #jamesbarnor #africanphotography #nubukefoundation #finallyinghana #firsttimeaccra #happyindependecedayghana #adeinaccra #belindakazeemkaminski

Dears, this is an invitation to an event, but more importantly I want ask you to please scroll down and consider supporting the case of Favour Moriba, a radio host and my co-host for tomorrow's event at Stadtbibliothek Graz. Please join the two of us at the Stadtbibliothek Zanklhof for Der Grazer Kunstverein zieht in die Stadtbibliothek, an event in the frame of Graz 2020. @grazer_kunstverein @stadtbibliothek_graz @grazkulturjahr2020 Together with Favour, I'll be presenting a new edition of the Library of Requests. The Library of Requests #5 focusses on the past in the present and colonial residues. It features books and films by Claudia Unterweger, Grada Kilomba, Natasha A. Kelly, myself, and some more. But more importantly we will also discuss how all this theory is connected to violent migration policies. This was not the focus of the library at first but I got to know in the midst of preparations that Favour is in danger of being deported from Austria, despite her being an active member of the African community in Graz, at Radio Helsinki, despite...., despite...., we all know how this stories go and why they go how the go BUT I want to ask you to please take the time and sign the petition. Favour needs our support and the community in Graz needs her to be able to continue her work! Thank you!! Here is the link to the petition: https://mein.aufstehn.at/petitions/here-to-stay-unterstutzung-fur-radiomacherin-im-asylverfahren (unfortunately i can't add the link to my profile) If anyone of you is in Graz today or tomorrow, let me know. I'll be happy to catch up!! collage on the lower right by: Edward Clydesdale Thomson upper photograph by: Darkhabani Ahmad
