Preserving wisdom, creating futures.
The House of Seshat Strategic Plan, 2026–2029.
Who we are
A knowledge management and cultural transmission institute working at the intersection of culture, policy, and power.
Our Strategic Plan (2026–2029) sets out what we are building over the next three years: interconnected bodies of work across history, art and culture, technology, and geopolitics, and the broader ecosystem of institutions, platforms, archives, and convenings we are developing to advance African thought and practice in the global arena of ideas.
What we are here to do
Our Mission
To advance African thought and practice in the global arena of ideas for the structural transformation of Africa.
Our Vision
An Africa that is the predominant author of its present and future.
Four focus areas · Where we are working
History
Contemporary historical analysis, archiving, curation, and the long-term project of preserving African art, culture, and thought for the generations that follow.
Art and Culture
Creative economies, music as living archive, and the building of platforms and frameworks that center African creators and audiences.
Technology
Digital public infrastructure, AI & ICT for development, digital politics, and what it means to build civic participation on African terms in the digital age.
Geopolitics
Critical minerals, security technology, aid and power, and Africa's positioning in a rapidly reconfiguring global order.
Work with us
We are building relationships with researchers, artists, technologists, policymakers, and organizations committed to centering African knowledge.
If that is you, we want to hear from you.
