Modernist Conference Venue!
A detail of a splendid modernist venue for the 'Thinking Africa' conference which I recently attended in Grahamstown at Rhodes University. The conference addressed interesting topics and challenges around the tendency to ignore or take little note of the African continents contribution to thought. Looking forward, the 'lead indicators' of economic development point to a potentially massive impact of sub-Saharan Africa;s contribution to global prosperity and human well-being. It seems somehow appropriate that much of this conference took place in an architecturally 'futuristic' building! Of course, none of this is to deny that enormous challenges lie ahead!
