Objects and Connections

We tell stories of growing up in the African continent with stories collected from Africans in the global diaspora and those in the continent. These stories tell of innovation, fun, running wild, culture, connection, and love.

How do we do it?

We ask you to pick an object (s) from your childhood and tell us a story about it.

Each object tells a story of growing up in the different parts of the African continent. These stories enable us to explore and celebrate the lasting cultural connections and visualise Africa's diversity, beauty, and zing! We hope you will enjoy listening to these stories as much as we have enjoyed collecting them.
