The workshop brought together scholars, activists, researchers and artists to delve into critical urban issues affecting African cities. It was held in collaboration with Ardhi University and Friedrich-Ebert Stiftung, Tanzania Office. Over a period of five days, the participants engaged with diverse urban topics including decolonization of knowledge, the impact of techno-capitalism in Africa, the dynamics of gendered cities and the role of activism.

Beyond scholarly discourse, the workshop facilitated cultural exchange through creative expression. Writing workshops on de-colonial narratives were complemented by immersive experiences in art and film to highlight the multifaceted dimensions of African cultures and perspectives on globalisation and agency.
