Geeska and its partners are proud to announce the forum “Africa at the Crossroads of the 21st Century,” taking place March 28–29. Bringing together distinguished researchers and thinkers, the forum will explore decolonizing knowledge, digital sovereignty for Generation Z, and liberation struggles. At its core, this is a call to rethink, reimagine, and rebuild through African frameworks, engaging questions of identity, social justice, and epistemological liberation. It also explores Afrofuturism, Ubuntu philosophy, and a critique of liberalism, while affirming Africa’s independent path. We read the world through African eyes, from memory to innovation.
