We hope you’re onboard as we continue our creative tour of Afrika! This will be the second episode under the ‘Shifting Narratives’ program supported by the British Council SSA Arts.

In this episode, Tsedaniya Delnessa discusses the history of Manakristo Designs, a company devoted to using salvaged and recycled wood along with tried-and-true wood finishes to create beauty over time. She emphasizes both the financial and aesthetic aspects that allowed her to give purpose to her passion for restoring the past.

She dives deep into her motivations for reclaiming the wood while also shedding light on the stories behind the myths and legends, around her community, that have shaped our cultures today.
