The animation industry is worth $500 billion annually but we can trace its roots back to the Motherland. Hollywood films are known for ripping off African culture and whitewashing history but less well known is the exploitation of Black culture and iconography in the animation industry.In this interactive presentation we will cover:
- African cultural practice before European arrival. The role of the Story
- What is a Griot ? Their role and purpose
- Trans- Atlantic transmission of culture as resistance
- Jim Crow and the roots of hyper violence in cartoons
- Walt Disney and his racism.
- Hollywood cultural appropriation of African content. Greeks and Romans
- Maintaining your culture while under oppression
- The Caribbean powerhouses of animation
- 7 Black owned animation/comics studios that are shaking up the industry by telling authentic African stories with Black characters
