What is Bantu?

Bantu is a show about African creativity, and all the ways that we are awesome. We tell stories about talented African makers and creatives, and try to sort out how we feel aobut our story. It turns out that there is a weird relationship between the media, creative organizations and brands, and dynamics of this relationship shape how our collective African creative story is heard.

Bantu is a uniquely African word; it means “people”. Design & art people, media people, brand people. It’s all Bantu.
