Reclaiming African History

Reclaiming African History is a program that supports young people in the UK and Kenya to undertake research on African history and collections. Their projects all respond to the question; what does reclaiming African history mean to you? My roles were to assist the students and develop their ideas and artwork, exhibiting their responses as part of Ode to the Ancestors at The Horniman Museum. This exhibition commemorates and celebrates the African Kenyan archaeologists whose names are absent from archaeological archives.
