YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A discussion with creatives from Africa and the African diaspora about the power of culture and the arts to transform societies: despite a booming creative scene on the African continent, creatives are often faced with a lack of critical infrastructure, and a lack of safe spaces due to hostile political regimes. Ugandan singer-cum-politician Bobi Wine, Cameroonian-born photo artist Angèle Etoundi Essamba, South Sudanese writer Stella Gaitano, Nigerian director Ike Nnaebue and British-Nigerian photographer Akinbode Akinbiyi join DW host Karin Helmstaedt to talk about the dilemmas that result, and the solutions culture can provide. When is it better to stay or to go? What role can artists play as a force for social change? And how to empower Africa’s young generations to dream in their own countries?
