What Should the Global South Do to 'Keep Its Cultures Alive'?
The answer lies in decolonizing "minds and imagination," which remain "tailored and guided by the Global North's thoughts," Ethiopian State Minister of Culture Nebiyou Baye told Sputnik Africa.
"We, Africans and the Global South, […] are not anymore in colony. But the minds, minds of the youth are in a neocolonial state," the state minister explained.
He also stressed the importance of empowering authentic artistic expression, as showcased at the Festival of the Greater South in Addis Ababa. "Then we can say that we have reclaimed our place and kept our cultures alive," Nebiyou noted.
