Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. --------------------
Travelling. It leaves you speechless, Then turns you into a storyteller.

John Akomfrah - Mimesis: African Soldier
November 2024 I was in Glasgow and decided to have a look in Glasgow's Modern Art Museum. It is known as GOMA. I was pleased I did. There was a fantastic film on. Three screens were set to up show African Soldier. Amoving film to rewrite history. There is no spoken narrative on the film.
Millions of African soldiers, laborers and carriers participated in the First World War on the African continent and on the Western Front in Europe. John Akomfrah would everyone to appreciate the involvement of Africans in the First World War.
Over six million African, Caribbean and South Asian people from across former colonies who fought, served, and died in the war.
