I know Tosin well and she sure knows her JOB WELL... Very friendly and holds her ground well too. Her workers respect and regard her.. Go Ma'am

It is not that her work isn’t good or great but minimalism isn’t African - just because she says so, and certainly not because of “its use”. She worded that wrongly, that is why there is a reaction to her work, and not what the clip intended to be about.. successful women.
-
So if minimalism isn’t african what exactly is African ? Is it the vernacular building structures of 400years ago? 68% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. Lagos today has a population estimated at 21million, you think we are all living in mud huts..?
-
Perhaps it is best to move beyond the polarity between the history of Africa and certain European nations. Take Zen for example. It has its own heritage, linage, traditions, consciousness, dogme, culture, language that is specific to its own environment and place in time.
-
Why on earth would anyone think that a mega city would built of mud? I don’t even understand this way of thinking. It is undermining African greatness.

@MarpLondon I stated very clearly ‘it is African in its use’. All cultures irrespective of the fact we live in modern times have very specific ways ‘space’ is appropriated, irrespective of if you live in a rural or urban area.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

"Afro-minimalism" architecture - that's an interesting term. It's worth learning more about the theories and praxis of the style.
-
It is called ‘leapfrog’ art history. Apply African or Arab in front of an ism and people think it is something new, and not an old ‘ism that came into existed due to its linage of styles preceding it as reaction to what came before+what happened socio-politically.
-
Ok. I don't think the idea here is that 'Afro-minimalism' is something totally new or devoid of any history. The point is that there are thought systems that underlined (precolonial) African architecture (See e.g. this 850yr old palace: https://www.tribuneonlineng.com/130484/ )
-
Thx for this. I still don’t understand why it is called African minimalism, and not a name that reference to that specific style of palace and follows that heritage. Also it proves that slavery was a part of African history before any Western influence, which often whitewashed.
