This episode’s discussion with three African writers and cultural practitioners asks how we imagine the future in situations where we may lack resources or feel cut off from opportunities. In contexts of poverty and deprivation, how do young people in Africa think about tomorrow? We also talk about the tools that work well to imagine the future.

Participants:

Aleya Kassam (LAM Sisterhood, Kenya), Mako Muzenda (Independent Researcher, Zimbabwe), Jonny Steinberg (Yale/WiSER)
