The Brazilian model of racial mixing has long been considered a utopia, a vision of what a non-racist humanity could be. Mixed race is indeed a reality in Brazil, a country where almost everyone is, in some way, a little black, a little white, a little indigenous......
“Foumban is Wakanda” is a creative project led by Jean-Pierre Bekolo that imagines a futuristic African city, inspired by the fictional world of Wakanda from the Black Panther universe. The project draws from the rich cultural heritage of Foumban, a historical city in Cameroon, and seeks to reframe African narratives by projecting Africa into a future without Western influence.
Bekolo, through this project, uses science fiction as a tool for cultural resistance, pushing African societies to envision their own future while challenging the conventional depictions of Africa as backward or dependent on the West. The aim is to encourage Africans to reclaim their past and reimagine it in a progressive and empowering way.
Through film, literature, and visual art, Bekolo and his collaborators aim to create a space where African identities, histories, and futures can be explored without the constraints of colonial perspectives.
