Ep 7: Yasuke's story and Black representation in Animation, the state of African Animation (with Chief Nyamweya)
Following an 8 year break, we are back!!
In this first episode of Season 2, I reconnected with an old friend in the Kenyan creative space, Chief Nyamweya- Creative Director of Freehand Studios and a self-educated artist whose work fuses storytelling, Illustration and animation to explore history, technology and creativity.
Our conversation centred around the new Netflix series Yasuke, the fact that he (Yasuke was a real person) and the first African and non -Japanese Samurai. We also asked the question, is this a new dawn for black characters in animation even as Chief spoke on black animation heroes, the importance of representation, the state of African animation and the intersection between history and animation.
