It’s the month of love, and what better way to celebrate than with a love song? We came across this "Old but Golden" piece by the BIB Band – Lil Down Low (Mereko Maba).

We came across this design studio that doubles as a cultural library - old photographs, documents, oral histories from across the continent and diaspora. The sort of content you don't see often in the mainstream.

We found a research project trying to document the meanings and origins of as many Ghanaian place names as possible; their article on postage stamps is a good starting point. It walks through a variety of stamps featuring towns, landmarks and cultural moments, and explains the fascinating place names and history behind the images. Worth poking around. Read more

Thanks for reading our second issue. If you come across something you think we'd like (an event, a spot, a book) send an email to [email protected]. If we feature it, we'll credit you.

Until next month,

ACnC
