S E1319: In Class with Carr, Ep. 319: “How to Build a House of Life”
About this episode
The episode discusses the work of ASCAC in promoting African renewal through ancestral knowledge and community practices.
This week, In Class With Carr comes from the 42nd International Conference of The Association for the Study of Classical African Civilizations, whose members have worked for over four decades to use the Per Ankh (House of Life) as a model for African renewal. Drawing on presentations in ASCAC’s five domestic U.S. regions over the previous year, we consider ASCAC’s work as a formation for the consideration of ancestral ways of knowing; a set of varied place-making practices; a community of cultural meaning-makers; a spiritually grounded governance formation rooted in service and a living repository of movement and memory. In this way, ASCAC’s work as a House of Life also renews, repositions, and sustains African knowledge as a necessary weapon to be wielded in the face of a hostile and dying contemporary global social structure.
