Ways to Participate or Collaborate with Boho Afrika

Boho Afrika is not a closed community or a membership model. It is a container for shared work, learning, and collaboration, opened deliberately and at a human scale.

Participation is practical, project-based, and clearly framed. Not everything is always open — and that’s intentional.

Below are the current ways to take part or collaborate.

Participate in a Workshop

Boho Afrika hosts small-scale community workshops focused on learning, skill-sharing, creativity, and practical exchange. Workshops may include: – creative or artistic practices – repair, making, or hands-on sessions – learning spaces focused on process, not performance – cross-cultural or place-based exchanges Participation does not require expertise. Workshops are designed to be accessible, respectful, and grounded in shared activity. Availability varies depending on place, partners, and timing.

Collaborate as a Facilitator or Contributor

Boho Afrika collaborates with facilitators, artists, makers, educators, and practitioners who value participatory learning and clear structure.

Collaboration may involve:
– facilitating a workshop or session
– co-designing a short-format program
– contributing skills to a shared project
– testing ideas in a low-pressure environment

Collaboration is based on:
– clearly defined roles
– transparent compensation or exchange
– realistic scope
– mutual respect

We do not ask collaborators to “volunteer for exposure.”


Host or Partner on a Project

Boho Afrika sometimes partners with:
– community cafés or cultural spaces
– libraries or informal learning environments
– local organisations or collectives
– hosts interested in shared programming

Hosting or partnering does not mean handing over your space or vision. It means co-creating something specific, with clear boundaries and responsibilities.

Projects are intentionally small and contextual.

Support or Share the Work

Not all participation is active or visible.

Some people contribute by:
– sharing information or resources
– connecting people or spaces
– supporting projects in practical ways
– following and amplifying work that aligns

Quiet participation is valid.

What Participation Is — and Is Not

Participation at Boho Afrika is:
– optional
– project-based
– respectful of time and energy
– grounded in real activity

It is not:
– a membership obligation
– unpaid emotional labour
– constant availability
– vague “family” expectations

You can participate once, occasionally, or not at all.
