Context Africa: Call for Projects

So far, I’ve been pretty happy with the wide range of types of projects and regions of focus I’ve been able to feature on Context Africa.

• LATER TODAY: Sam Reinders pictures the complications of "poverty tourism"
  
• Paul Sika's technicolor dreamscape
  
• Andrew Rice on memory, murder and Idi Amin
  
• Tim Hetherington on the culmination of ten years of taking pictures in Liberia
• Rob Crilly on how to write about a place as contentious as Darfur
• Nicholai Lidow on post-conflict surfing
• Jina Moore's Q and A about forgiveness in Rwanda

But, they’ve been heavily weighted towards places I’m familiar with: East Africa, and specifically Uganda, and West Africa, and specifically Liberia. I’d love to feature more projects from different places and in different mediums. If you know of any projects that would be appropriate for Context Africa, I’d love to feature them. Ideally they would be well reported over a longer period of time, nuanced, and thoughtful.

I’d especially love to include some radio pieces. It’s not my medium, so I’m less familiar with what’s out there. I’d also love to include some pieces from North Africa and more from Southern Africa as well.

If you know of any projects – yours, your friends, other people’s work that you find engaging – leave a comment here with relevant information or send me an email at glennagordon at gmail dot com.
