A-List: Afrigadget.com
ONE is turning to its community of artists, friends, members and staff for their top picks on creative works that have enhanced their knowledge and understanding of the richness of African culture and arts. Today we have a recommendation from Peter Griesar:
Afrigadget.com features creative ideas and innovative technologies coming out of Africa today. Created by a group of African bloggers from around the continent, Afrigadget.com chronicles everyday people making extraordinary contributions to their community and the larger world.
A few months ago I posted the inspiring story of William Kamkwamba and his windmill – Afrigadget.com features William and so many other people who have realized their unique visions with reused, repurposed and recycled materials – and a massive amount of DIY creativity.
Please take a few moments to explore.
