decolonizing and recolonizing the mind. By .el
“The art piece was inspired by the Berlin Conference in 1880 where they established international guidelines for the acquisition of African land to avoid conflict between Europeans powers. The Scramble of Africa was the invasion, occupation, division and colonization of African Territory. This art piece is to remind me that I have to constantly work on decolonizing my mind. To me, it means to unlearn all our subconscious baises, ideas, and opinions that has been passed down to us through generations.”
Huge thank you to Elam who created this piece inspired by our conversation on decolonizing our minds.
And also Thank you once again to everyone who joined and contributed to our conversation last night. Swipe on this post to see what our main takeaways from the discussion were and the changes we can make to help ourselves and each other rally for a better Kenya.

In the battle for equality, we must undergo the process of "challenging the cultural and epistemic legacies of colonialism". The Decolonization of the Mind is concept coined by Kenyan author and theorist, Ngūgī wa Thiong'o who put language at the forefront of his post-colonial studies but also discussed many other important cultural aspects we need to address. Read about some of them here and come ready for our discussion live on Instagram on Sunday at 9pm!
