Academic Fellows Report November 2022
This report examines the role of young African influencers and viral hashtags on TikTok and Instagram in challenging Afropessimism and nurturing an African digital cosmopolitan practice.

and the diaspora to investigate Africa's narrative across a range of mediums and topics that include
social media, arts reinstitution, the impact of Covid-19, and spoken word poetry. The program brings

understand narrative and its impact. It is co-funded by Facebook and supported by The African Union,
AUDA-NEPAD and the New York-based Africa Centre.
