In the early 1900s, Germany carried out one of the first genocides of the 20th century, wiping out over 80% of the Herero and Nama people in Namibia. This brutal campaign, fueled by colonial ambitions, involved mass killings, forced labor, and starvation. This documentary uncovers the horrors of this forgotten atrocity and its lasting impact on Namibia’s history.

In the Early Modern Period (around 1500-1800), West Central Africa (modern day Angola, the Congos, and Gabon) was home to a variety of different types of cloth and clothing. In this video, we discuss some of the textiles, jewelry, and other adornment that people in this region wore to cover up or show off status, primarily focusing on the kingdoms of Kongo, Ndongo, and to a lesser extent Loango. Join us as we explore some Central African Fashion History! This video is part of Untold Black History III, a collaboration for Black History Month discussing interesting and positive Black history from around the world.

We have recorded the complete process of harvesting, preparing and building these amazing houses.
