We rise as living suns: learning from Bakongo philosophy with Aza Njeri

We are living in troubled times. In the opening session of Re/membering our Rooted Selves, we investigate tangled systemic crises and cracks in the systems that have become even more visible with the multiple collapses. How do we move, in spite? Aza Njeri, professor of African Literature and researcher of African and Afro-diasporic Philosophies, Cultures, Literatures and Arts, one of the teachers in this opening week, shares about the Bakongo philosophy, an African philosophy of the peoples of Congo and Angola.
