Felwine Sarr: "Reimagining Africa"

Open conversation with Felwine Sarr, exploring the ideas behind his book Afrotopia and how they resonate today

How can we move beyond dominant narratives of development and reimagine Africa on its own terms? What knowledge counts, and who decides?

Join the public conversation with Felwine Sarr, one of Africa’s leading contemporary thinkers, as he reflects on the ideas in his influential book "Afrotopia" and what has changed since its publication. Against the backdrop of global aid cuts, shifting power dynamics, and the urgent need to decolonize knowledge production, Sarr invites us to reimagine Africa’s future through a new, self-determined lens.
