The destruction of Quirimbas Park
By @estaciovaloi
The Quirimbas National Park in Cabo Delgado, Mozambiqe, is a UNESCO heritage site described on its website as “a hidden gem in Africa’s crown, with beautiful costal forest, secluded islands, and turquoise waters.” It has supposedly received significant amounts in “green” funds from France, Italy, the EU, the World Bank, and other donors to ensure its continued existence as a pristine biosphere. But rapacious logging inside the park is devastating the area. Culprits are said to be a Chinese timber business in collaboration with park agency officials. The partnership is reportedly supported by highly placed connections in the justice system and the ruling party government – the same government that is raking in the green funds..

Happy Birthday Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013)!
Today, International Nelson Mandela Day is celebrated worldwide with events, speeches, screenings and many, many efforts that contribute to creating a world with no us and them, no racism, no suppression, no war. Long live the spirit of Nelson Mandela!
ZAM joined this movement on the day we were born. Later, in 2019 we launched the first ZAM Nelson Mandela Lecture. This event in the International Theatre Amsterdam brings together speakers, hosts, performing & visual artists and many, many visitors.
ZAM continues to study the important lessons of the struggles against racial oppression and explore their value for today’s challenges.

Join our discussion on Ernest Cole’s epic work “House of Bondage”. A new edition of this important book has just been re-published and features in our FACE FORWARD - stories for change programme.
Leslie Matlaisane, Cole’s nephew, has recently been given an archive of 60,000 negatives that were previously thought lost. ZAM and Leslie visited the impressive Ernest Cole exhibition at FOAM.

Intro of Apartheid Revisited
This intro is part of Apartheid Revisited (www.apartheidrevisited.com), an interactive web application that explores the whereabouts of white oppression in South Africa, its European/Dutch roots and the relevance of an 'old' story for today. With divisions between people – walls, borders, exclusion, restrictions – omnipresent one wonders: is Apartheid really history?
How did this evil system enforcing hatred and racism by law work? Who was behind it? What did the human destruction look like? When and where did it happen and how did it come to an end?
