Tumeshazoea hadithi za kutoka nje zikieleza Afrika kama sehemu ya vita, umasikini na uharibifu, anasema Wanuri Kahiu ambaye ni mwenza wa TED. Furaha ipo wapi? Anatambulisha "AfroBubbleGum" -- Sanaa ya Afrika ambayo inasisimua, yenye kufurahisha na isiyo na mjadala wa kisiasa. Kuwaza tena thamani ya mambo ambayo si makubwa. Kama anavyoelezea Kahiu kwa nini tunahitaji sanaa ambayo inagusa sehemu yote ya mapitio mwanadamu ili kuelezea hadithi za Afrika.

Sanaa maridadi ya Kiafrika inayochekesha na kushangaza.

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.
