As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, achieving a world without hunger and malnutrition calls for urgent action to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient.

The impacts of climate change are further increasing uncertainties and vulnerabilities facing farmers and communities.

Integrated, cross sectoral approaches like agroecology are an important element in the transition process, reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture to guarantee healthy ecosystems that can ensure food and nutrition security for all.

On the base of case studies and interviews from farmers, researchers and decisions makers from France, Mali, Hungary , Argentina this video show how agroecology and political will can help build more resilient farming systems and question the future requirements to up-scale these solutions.

In honour of Black History Month 2021, relive the magic of Baaba Maal’s historic February 2020 residency at the Museum. Watch this video to experience highlights from the Senegalese music legend’s Duniya Salaam concerts, a celebration of diversity and world peace.

Performing on two consecutive nights in the Museum's Auditorium, Maal shared soaring melodies, rhythms, and stories that have made him one of the world’s most renowned musicians. The Senegalese singer, guitarist, and percussionist's performances both centred around the theme of Duniya Salaam, which translates to "world peace."

Maal’s shows were part of an Artist Residency at the Museum that also saw him leading youth workshops and take part in a public discussion about music’s role in uniting cultures.
 
Baaba’s Maal Duniya Salaam is presented in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Senegal in Canada.

Burkina Faso is a special country; one that is characterized not by its economy or its nature, but by the people that inhabit it. Diversity is unequivocally Burkina Faso’s strong suite as difference takes place in co-existence. What makes this interesting for an architect is that the large variety of ethnic groups is paired with the creativity portrayed in the spatial environment.

Understanding the natural, cultural and social context in which Burkinabé citizens live will provide us with the tools to design better, more affordable and more culturally sensitive housing solutions. Comprehending their daily life is of high importance if the urbanizing population is to accept, apply, use and create new, more effective housing typologies.

This documentary shows the strength local architecture has and the inevitable change that the country is facing. Fusing both the vernacular and an African modernity offers viable solutions to the spatial development of the country’s urban growth.
I hope you enjoy it!

🇧🇫A small landlocked country in West Africa, Burkina Faso is home to a vibrant community of artists, musicians, & engaged citizens who carry on the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara, killed in a coup d'état led by his best friend and advisor Blaise Compaoré, who then ruled the country as an autocrat for 27 years, til a massive popular insurrection led to his removal.

✊✊🏽✊🏿Today, the spirit of resistance and political change is mightier than ever and it permeates every aspect of the Burkinabè life. It is an inspiration, not only to Africa, but to the rest of the world.

🇧🇫The documentary chronicles agricultural resistance and the fight for food sovereignty in Burkina Faso--a small, landlocked country in West Africa. Showcasing activist farmers, students, artists, and leaders in the local Slow Food movement, the film looks at how the Burkinabè people are reclaiming their land and defending their traditions against the encroachment of corporate agribusiness.

From women gaining economic independence by selling artisanal "dolo" beer, to youth marching in the streets against companies like Monsanto, to hip-hop musicians setting up their own farms and reviving the revolutionary spirit of Thomas Sankara through their music, BURKINABÈ BOUNTY shows the creative tactics people are using to take back control of their food, seeds, and future.

This video explores the different perspectives of food providers on agroecology and the calls from social movements to embed agroecoogy in the struggle for food sovereignty. It focuses on the Declaration of International Forum for Agroecology, which has been advanced by social movements to claim agroecology as a bottom up practice, science and movement and the most important pathway towards a most just, sustainable and viable food and agriculture system.
