Living with the legacy of Slavery in Senegal – Ina Makosi

The United Nations of Earth reporting on this issue: "Living with the legacy of Slavery in Senegal – Ina Makosi"
The topics: “We learn slavery at school. We know what happened, so we don't forget, we own it”, reflects Ina Makosi, a Senegalese photographer who researches the impact of the slave trade in Africa on today’s urban culture and youth. For her research, Ina Thiam (her real name) regularly visits the Island of Gorée to find traces of history. For centuries, the Island of Gorée was a port of departure for the African slave trade. It is now preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage site. We follow Ina as she wanders between the historic island and Dakar’s suburbs where she meets with iconic hip hop musicians from West Africa who act as youth influencers and guides. #Fightracism Music: Un autre monde est possible by Dider Awadi say-how-you-feel---instrumental-version by ateller Artlist daltons-theme by notize Artlist La route de l'esclave by Didier Awadi Photos by Ina Makosi UNIA1677
