African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.

Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.

As one who has studied #AncientGreek, I'm all for using the plural "you"! (And Greek, as well as many other languages, also had gender-neutral nouns).

Y'all, we need to talk about 'y'all'

July 16, 2025

Excerpt: "In the north of the British Isles, people sometimes combined ye, a second person plural pronoun for you, along with aw, meaning all. An example found in a letter dating from the 1700s suggests that Scots-Irish immigrants brought their version of y'all to Appalachia and the South. Around that same time, enslaved people who were being taken to the South from #WestAfrica brought their own unique term that literally translates to 'you all,' Reed says.

" 'As like a huge nerd,' Wright says, 'I love that both of these things can be true, that it can be from Black people and Scots-Irish settlers all at the same time.' "
