Kelechi Okafor in conversation with Adwoa & Solomon

​Most Africans and people of African descent grew up with two spiritual inheritances and were only ever allowed to admit to one. There was the faith that arrived on a ship with a Bible and a flag, and there was the older thing underneath it. The one your grandmother practised quietly, the dreams nobody dismissed, the names that carried meaning, the libation poured before anyone drank.

​One of those inheritances got a building and a hymn book. The other got called superstition.

​Kelechi Okafor sits down with Adwoa and Solomon of Adeche Atelier at Common Sense Studios for an evening on African spirituality and mythology, and what it means to take it seriously as an adult. Expect a real conversation about cosmology and the gods our ancestors knew by name, about ancestral veneration and why the West struggles to distinguish it from worship, about what colonialism and the mission field actually did to African spiritual life, and about the harder question underneath all of it. Can you reconnect with something your family was taught to be ashamed of, or are you just curating an aesthetic?

​Nobody in this room is offering you a tidy resolution. That's the point.

​Time afterwards for drinks and conversation. The room is deliberately small, because this is meant to feel like a room rather than an audience.
