This is interesting and important. @thecontinent.org has started “Museum of Stolen History: A limited series reclaiming what colonialism stole from us”. Part 1 about Ngwi Ndem (Bangwa Queen ). Curated by Shola Lawal, art direction by Wynona Mutisi.

Today was… interesting. Deeply moving moments, moments of irritation, some of my questions still open, new questions have come up. Let’s wait and see. Thank you, Chief Adam Mkwawa, for our short conversation after the ceremony. Would be great to continue the conversation soon.

Today is January 16, 2025. Few weeks ago, after the opening of “Histories of Tanzania” at Humboldt Forum in Berlin, Chief Adam Abdul Mkwawa II. told me: “It also helped a little to have people to share and listen to our cries and stories.” (1/2)

In the same context, today Amani Abeid, an artist who is part of “Histories of Tanzania” told me: “The museums should extend the capacities of spreading the knowledge about histories - not only in Tanzania but throughout the world. The new generation, they have their spaces.”

While thinking about omissions, I’ve been thinking of Mnyaka Sururu Mboro. A key diaspora person in decolonizing TZ-GER colonial legacy. And someone whose voice was to be heard in VINYAGO.

While listening to the panels at Humboldt Forum this weekend, I’ve also been reminded of the talks after the VINYAGO performances at Humboldt Forum in 2022.
What is the state of Tanzanian-German colonial legacy?

These days, with “Histories of Tanzania” now open at Humboldt Forum, I’ve been thinking a lot of when two years back, VINYAGO was there, co-curated by Isack Abeneko, Nicholas Calvin Mwakatobe and Gita Herrmann.

I use #MGNalbinism to share from my research on the situation of persons with albinism (PWA) in Tanzania and other countries. Together with Tanzanian comics artist Marco Tibasima we have documented #MGNalbinism in graphic journalism drawings. Vicky Ntetema, former BBC journalist, shared her story.
