Design Reparations with the Bafut Community in Cameroon

​Design Reparations is focused on nurturing relationships of understanding, care and reciprocity between the design community and the traditional, Indigenous communities worldwide, for ecological and just outcomes in design and beyond.

​For this online session of 1,5 hours, we are partnering with Princess Abumbi Prudence from the Bafut Community in Cameroon.

Her deep connection to the Bafut community and her visionary approach to nurturing future generations will guide us in this conversation.
