"None are free till we are all free." BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2023 Theme: Celebrating our Sisters, Saluting our Sisters, and Honouring Matriarchs of Movements https://www.blackhistorymonth.org.uk You're invited to this edition of The Crow's Nest, an encounter between Miche Fabre Lewin and Yolanda Sokiri , two women artists and wisdom practitioners who share the Earth heart of African | European lineages. Inviting in ancient traditions and contemporary knowing, they are in a conversation to explore how ‘white' bodied kin can be taking openhearted responsibility for the slow, deeply generative and liberatory process of uncovering white supremacy and choosing to live with true accountability. Through artful sequences of ritual, poetic weavings and embodied interactions with matter, metaphor and mystery, Miche and Yolanda inhabit the deep trust work needed for nurturing conversations, kinships and cultivating communities of freedom between cultures. In November Miche and Yolanda launch Living Stories, an online Depth Encounter for ‘white' bodied kin who are committed to individual and collective liberation and are heeding the call from ‘Black' and ‘Brown' kin to address the ‘white' privilege of our racialised ‘whiteness'.

My guest is Verena Krebs, author of Medieval Ethiopian Kingship, Craft, and Diplomacy with Latin Europe.Her book explores why Ethiopian kings pursued long-distance diplomatic contacts with Latin Europe in the late Middle Ages. It challenges conventional narratives of African-European encounters on the eve of the so-called ‘Age of Exploration that Ethiopia sent missions to Latin Europe in search of military and technology assistance.  Describing those interpretations in our interview as bluntly racist, Krebs writes that the Ethiopian initiation of contacts appears to have been intimately connected to a local political agenda of building monumental ecclesiastical architecture in the North-East African highlands,and asserted the Ethiopian rulers' claim of universal kingship and rightful descent from the biblical king Solomon.Verena Krebs is Professor for Medieval Cultural Realms and their Entanglements at the Ruhr University Bochum, Germany.  She holds a bi-national PhD from the university of Konstanz in Germany, and Mekelle University in Ethiopia.

In this dialogue I speak to Dr Alex Arteaga, a leading European artist-researcher who works with text, sound, video, photography, essays and installations according to the nature of his projects and their specific research issues. Alex has received professional degrees in piano and theory of music, has a Masters degree in electro-accoustic music. He studied architecture at Berlin University of the Arts and obtained a PhD in philosophy at Humboldt University Berlin. He is currently teaching courses at the Berlin University of the Arts (at the MA Sound Studies and Sonic Arts), film university of Catalonia (ESCAC) and the graduate school of the University of Lapland. As a researcher, he’s connected to the University of Applied Arts Vienna In the dialogue we discuss how Alex's complex background led him into the realm of artistic research and his sense of how artistic research has been taken up across Europe. We look closely at Alex's major projects: the Auditory Research Unit at the Berlin University of the Arts  and the relationship between the auditory and the visual in architectural thinking; the Architecture of Embodiment and Alex's non-hierarchical approach to the structure and methodology of the research; and his collaboration with the Austrian media artist Nikolaus Gansterer exploring concepts such as the "presence of situations" in Contingent Agencies. We also engage with the more provocative aspects of Alex's thinking such as his insistence that "aesthetic research" should be distinguished from "artistic research". We cover his involvement in the new African-European collaborative project, Artistic Research and City Spaces which is linking The Wits Schools of Art and Architecture and Planning with a range of different artistic research initiatives in Europe. Finally we discuss Alex's critique of the notion that artistic research produces forms of (alternative) "knowledge" and the implications of this view for strategies of decolonisation.

Joining John and Andy this week are Natasha McEnroe, the Keeper of Medicine at the Science Museum in London, and novelist Lissa Evans, Backlisted's old friend and the show's Original Guest, both of whom are Betty MacDonald superfans. The Plague and I (1948) is the author's unflinching and hilarious memoir of the nine months she spent as a patient at a TB sanatorium in the Pacific North West of America. We discuss this book and the eventful life of its million-selling author (The Egg and I, Anybody Can Do Anything, Onions in the Stew), are exposed to a selection of TB-related public information films and music, and there is even a 'communicable disease in literature' quiz. Also in this episode Andy is grabbed by Mr Bowling Buys a Newspaper (1943) by Donald Henderson, reputedly Raymond Chandler's favourite crime novel; while John has been enjoying Olivette Otele's recently published history African Europeans, which traces a long African European heritage via the lives of individuals both ordinary and extraordinary.

Agriculture constitutes a significant portion of the economies of all African countries, and as a sector, it contributes towards major priorities across the continent, such as eradicating poverty and hunger, boosting intra-Africa trade and investments, rapid industrialization and economic diversification, sustainable resource and management, creating jobs, and fosters shared prosperity. The sector provides the continent with a huge potential to feed itself and eliminate hunger and food security, but also a major player in global food markets. This is where Bourgeon Agricultural Company comes in. The Nigeria-based integrated agricultural company has operational networks in the Benelux, Germany and other parts of Eastern Europe. The goal of the company is to fill in the gap between food production in Africa and the growing population of the continent. The company connects producers and consumers of agricultural produce within through various services that include cultivation, trading, processing, storage and distribution. On this episode of Empact Mindset, my guest is Christelle van Amsterdam. She is Senior Business Development Consultant at Bourgeon Agricultural Company (Nigeria). Before then, she served as Information Technology Recruitment Consultant at the FSM Group and various other roles both in sales, recruitment and business development. On this episode, Christelle shares her insights on agricultural innovation as well as her experiences and journey as an entrepreneur. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thegameplanpodcast/message

Migration, mobility and displacement retain their relevance for the Africa-EU partnership agenda, which would make part of the next round of negotiations between the two continents towards a new African Union-EU Summit in 2021.The EU, in its Comprehensive Strategy with Africa and New Pact on Asylum and Migration, both published in 2020, places emphasis on developing a comprehensive partnership agenda, including on migration, built on a stronger alignment of interests. Yet, consolidating cooperation on migration has so far proved to be challenging due to differences in priorities and approaches between the two sides.This challenge now needs to be confronted in a policy context profoundly altered by COVID-19. Against this background, the webinar aims to get locally grounded and context-sensitive insights into the impact of the pandemic on migration, mobility and displacement dynamics in Africa and to discuss what, as seen from African perspectives, this implies for the African-European partnership in this policy area.Speakers:Tsion Tadesse Abebe, Senior Researcher, Migration, Institute of Security Studies (ISS), Addis AbabaAderanti Adepoju, Human Resources Development Centre, LagosMehdi Lahlou, Professor, Institut National de Statistique et d'Economie Appliquée (INSEA), RabatOttilia Anna Maunganidze, Head, Special Projects, Institute of Security Studies (ISS), PretoriaChair:Asli Okyay, Senior Fellow, Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI)

Almost a year ago, when EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made her first business trip outside the EU, she chose the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa as her destination and took quite a stand . Also this year was supposed to be a “decisive year” in African-European relations: The German Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development talked at the beginning of 2020 about a “treaty of the century” which should have been sealed at the AU-EU Summit. However, with the pandemic ongoing, the Summit was postponed, and priorities shifted. Where do we stand now in building a “strategic partnership” between the European and African continent? And can we actually consider it a “strategic” one? What impact has the competition between the US and China on these relations? In this week’s episode, host Mark Leonard is joined by Faten Aggad, Senior Advisor to the AU High Representative on AU-EU negotiations, Mark Malloch Brown, former deputy secretary‐general of the UN under Kofi Annan and minister of state in the UK foreign office, and ECFR Africa’s director Theodore Murphy to discuss challenges and possible opportunities of the AU-EU relationship. This podcast was recorded on 9 November 2020.
