I am very much looking forward to welcoming J. Kelechi Ugwuanyi to the University of Hamburg next week as a WONAGO Fellow. On Wednesday, he will give the next talk in our lecture series on "African Ontologies of Nature. Lessons from the Igbo practice of 'territorial communion'".

The picture captures the entrance to the sacred forest, where the Eze Oraeri lives in Anambra State, Southeastern Nigeria. The art work depict the Eze Oraeri on his royal regalia in the company of his spiritual and priestly servant - the dwarf.

I finally made it here and am happy to share the CfP for a small workshop I am hosting @coloniallegacy.bsky.social in Hamburg in March. Anyone working on "Animals and Empire" with methods of provenance research is welcome to apply until January 19. kolonialismus.blogs.uni-hamburg.de/2024/12/20/c...
