Revolutionary Summer School @ TPF is a hybrid course for organizers, visionaries and all people advancing resistance to oppression. This year, we invite all who want to join us in a collective study of the histories, constructions, and current projects of Pan Africanism on the African continent and across the world.
Pan Africanism, although first emerging as a specific movement in 1900 is rooted in a rich and extensive history. It developed out of the struggles of individuals and organizations, as well as common ideas, throughout Africa and the diaspora, including abolitionist movements across the Americas and the Haitian Revolution.
To win the battle of ideas, we must be able to compete with the ruling class, its endless resources, and its powerful media apparatus. Equipping ourselves with professional-level design skills makes our message more compelling and competitive.
