Re-Connect / Re-Collect: Crossing the Divides through Memories of Cold War Childhoods – project funded by KONE Foundation, Finland

Auto reconnect mapped network drives on Windows 10 startup – A simple issue to fix but a nagging problem that occurs with many Microsoft Windows Operating Systems.

This collaborative, international and interdisciplinary project creates dialogues among people divided by multiple borders – geopolitical, economic, generational and cultural – inherited from and reordered after the Cold War. Bridging academic research and art, the project (re)collects memories of diverse childhood experiences during the Cold War, bringing into public view alternative and multiple personal histories that have the potential to transfigure divisions into connections in new and bold ways.

The project draws on the research traditions of autobiography, autoethnography, and collective biography, as well as artistic representations of childhood memories through drama and traveling exhibitions. It builds an archive of memories that continually recreates itself, inciting experimentation, responding to continuously changing experiences of the communities, and fostering multiple, even panoramic viewpoints about diverse identities, cultures, and histories as experienced during and after the Cold War. The project extends its reach beyond the walls of academia. It engages ordinary people – from both sides of the former Iron Curtain and the new borders and walls. During the process of collaboratively (re)collecting and ‘working through’ memories, participants and the public actively reconcile past and present with the tensions built up over decades, while they (re)connect across divisions and move towards a shared humanity.

There are many programs to help Africans in Africa. There are many programs aimed at helping those Africans who were stolen and taken to the Americas and beyond. However, there are scarcely any programs to help the ascendants from the enslaved Africans in the Americas to reconnect and unite with the continental Africans they were stolen from centuries ago.

Estimates are that there are anywhere from 10,000-25,000 Diasporan Repatriates currently living in Ghana. While not all Diasporans are on the continent and in Ghana for the express purpose of repatriation, a great many are. We at XLIVE Radio have taken up the mantle of reunification among as many as possible via cutting-edge, dynamic, culturally relevant internet radio programming.

Our project at XLIVE Radio (internet radio) is a rarity in Ghana in that it features Diasporan Repatriates amidst a largely Ghanaian listening audience. We seek to help Diasporan Africans heal, embrace and make progress together with continental Africans--those in Ghana in particular. Your contribution will help with costly start up expenses that up to now, have been paid for out of the devoted and loving coffers of the show's host, DJ Fuad. Help me support this talented young man!
