This project is made possible by the collective effort of all parties. If you are interested, there are many ways to get involved. Are you an African who lives or used to liveĀ  in Russia? Contact me. I want to hear your story. Or keep me informed of events, weddings, parties, funerals, meet-ups etc. within your community. Are you Russian? This a story about your homeland. What do think about it? Are you a journalist? Consider writing an article or an essay. Are you an academic or professional in a relevant field i.e. anthropology, African studies, comparative cultural studies etc.? Consider writing an analytical piece. Are you a patron of the arts? Consider making a donation or connecting me with a foundation that supports this type of work. Are you a photo editor? Think about publishing some photographs. Are you a book publisher? Think about turning this into a book in a year or so. Are you a curator? Maybe you’d like to host an exhibition? Or, just talk with someone about these issues.
