About this Event

Ubuntu – I am because we are is a multi-stranded exhibition and workshop programme conceived by Jason Forrest, Sharon Bertram, and Ian Thompson.

The philosophy of ubuntu, originating from the Bantu and Xhosa traditions of southern Africa, and later popularised by Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela, embodies the idea that our humanity is deeply interconnected. The phrase ‘I am because we are’ expresses values of community, collectivism, and shared responsibility, fostering an awareness of how our lives are shaped by those around us.

Join us for Story of Things, led by Winnie Ahupa, a designer and student on MA Global Collaborative Design Practice at Camberwell College of Arts. Winnie invites guests to share personal stories held within everyday items such as household tools, garments or gifts. The session encourages reflection on emotional, cultural and material histories, and is especially welcoming to intergenerational and intercultural audiences, including those with lived experiences of migration, displacement and community making.
