What will the immense population growth in Africa mean for Africa and the world? In his contribution to the series 'Africa: 60 years of independence' in Clingendael Spectator, ASCL researcher Ton Dietz predicts that the increasing wealth in Africa will lead to more migration to Europe, but also that Africa might well become the world's most attractive growth region in the second half of this millennium.
Common Threads explores the ties that bind India and Africa through the material medium of cloth, from antiquity to the present. Cloth made in India has been sold across African markets for millennia, by Indian, African, and European traders. The history of this trade offers perspectives into the rich stories of bi-directorial migrations of peoples, across the Indian Ocean, the exchange of visual aesthetics, and the co-production of cultures in the two geographies.
