Estamos muy acostumbrados a leer relatos sobre la guerra, la pobreza o la devastación en África, dice Wanuri Kahiu como miembro de TED. ¿Dónde queda la diversión? Presentando "AfroBubbleGum": arte africano excitante, alegre y sin ninguna agenda política. Reconsideremos el valor de todo lo que no es serio a medida que Kahui explica las razones por las que necesitamos un arte que capture todo tipo de experiencias humanas para contar historias sobre África.

Arte africano divertido, salvaje y fantástico

Art from Africa is often expected to focus on trauma, poverty, or crisis, but a new wave of creators insists on fun, fierce, and frivolous stories. One artist grew up hearing wild science fiction tales from her mother, later writing about seven-foot robots in love and Nairobi pop bands reaching for the stars. She calls this movement 'AfroBubbleGum,' celebrating vibrant art that exists for its own joyful sake. These works show that happiness and imagination are essential parts of African identity too.
