| Abstract:
Wiki Loves Africa is arguably the largest photo contest in the African continent and originally set out on the noble objective of redefining the African narrative using freely donated media to provide a richer and more accurate perspective of Africa. How well have we achieved this objective? What learnings can we share after 10yrs and several successful editions? What else have we achieved on the side? These and more are the questions that we hope to answer during this very visual presentation. |
