REDISCOVERING MASTERPIECES

Shared Heritage Africa aims to take an African viewpoint on the documentary rediscovery of modern university campuses and other seminal buildings in West and East Africa from the 1950 to the 1970s .

Campus buildings like the Senate Building in Ile-Ife above are examples of cultural landscapes from the period of independence from colonial rule (Ghana 1957, Nigeria 1960 and Uganda 1962). Their rediscovery and consequent documentation raises questions of values, challenges and opportunities which are relevant from a contemporary African as well as a global perspective.

OUR APPROACH
The project is centred around nine research fellows from three African countries (Ghana, Nigeria, Uganda) and combines heritage research with local writing and photography workshops, exhibitions, scientific papers, blogs and digital publishing. The written and visual documentation of built cultural heritage of Africa is a prerequisite for a sustainable urban and social development. The approach builds upon African and international initiatives and identifies students and young professionals as important target groups to develop social, cultural and political awareness and further participatory tools.
Exhibitions are held at the University of Lagos , Kyambogo University in Kampala as well as in Frankfurt in Germany. A special issue of the DOCOMOMO Journal and a book will be published in the second half of 2023. It is Shared Heritage Africa's aim not only to further the rediscovery and documentation of masterpieces of modern architecture for a professional and academic audience, but also to bring them to the attention of the general public as part of the collective memory.
