At a time when global debate is dominated by conflict and tension, it’s worth reflecting on what’s being built.
In Conakry, Guinea, a few days ago, I met with some young men and women involved in a bootcamp related to the city’s virtual museum project.
Watching them was enough to understand how concrete the topic of culture is here: digital tools, content, access to heritage.
The project is part of a broader process, also supported by French Cooperation and the French Development Agency (AFD), along with the Ministry of Culture, Tourism and Crafts, committed to promoting the Musée national de Guinée.
In this context, culture is not an accessory. It is one of the spaces where identities, skills, and the ability to imagine alternatives are built.
No rhetoric, just work and attention to what can be built.
If there’s a different idea of the future than what the terrible news of recent weeks has conveyed to us, that idea also passes through here.
