We are more than excited to open the SAVVY KWATA in Limbe, Cameroon, with the opening celebration Library of Lost and Found. As an archival expansion and reorientation, it aims to gather the works of the published and unpublished, written and spoken, danced and sung thoughts of African authors. Archives and libraries can be violent places of malevolent categorization, imperial fetishization and hegemonic dissemination; this library is not that. We aim to provide a rich space for knowledge to be tended to, expanded upon and celebrated, in and with collective jubilation. This is a house for fading tales to regain their vibrance, a place for narrative arcs of indigenous tongues to be emboldened, a space for stories to flourish beyond the spine of a book and the bounds of ‘beginning’ and ‘end’. The Library of Lost and Found may be best described as a community garden holding an ecosystem of epistemological and methodological diversity which once struggled to find soil soft enough to take deeper root. This is that soil.
