CREATIVITY / AGENCY / URGENCY

The stories of cities in Africa are tethered to the agency of its people, the rich creativity that is the hallmark of the continent, and the awareness of the urgency with which we must drive change. RISE Africa 2022 invites you to sit in the tension points between Creativity, Agency and Urgency, to share new concepts approaches and actions that attempt to move the needle across multiple urban themes. This series will open each morning of the RISE Africa 2022 Action Festival and aims to unpack and debate how we, as urban change agents, must hold the tension between deliberative, thoughtful process - vital for ensuring that all voices are properly supported and that creative and innovative practice is embedded in our society and institutions - and the need for swift action. How are we harnessing the immense creativity and expression available to us to act with purpose? The three sessions are:
• Creativity / Re-embedding imagination into the everyday - Monday, 23 May, 10:00 AM Central African Time
• Agency / Realising Human Rights in African Cities - Tuesday, 24 May, 10:00 AM Central African Time
• Urgency / Acting Now for Better Futures - Wednesday, 25 May, 10:00 AM Central African Time
