In February 2023, we gathered at MS-TCDC in Arusha, Tanzania, for the Activist in Residence (AiR) program, a month-long engagement aimed at bringing together progressive organisers, theorists, writers, artists, activists, and/or other practitioners looking for a quiet and safe space to strategize on how to advance radical visions and build power together across borders.
Co-organized and co-designed by MS-TCDC and the Pan-African popular pedagogy collective Mwamko, the 2023 AiR program brought together small transnational groups (or the core members of much larger groups) who are currently cooperating across and/or beyond the African continent, spanning diverse contexts, to build on their ongoing efforts and scale up transnational solidarity.
Over this period, we shared our stories of struggle, communed and rested, and also interrogated critical questions of concern to the unfinished African liberation struggle. Some of the key themes that informed our thoughts and discussions over this period include; Pan-Africanism and internationalism; history of African revolt as a medium of understanding the current conjuncture; unity in diversity – the question of North Africa; gendering and queering the agenda; the African revolution – today and tomorrow; and steps toward a Movement of African Unity.
