An interesting article about DIY in Africa that I wanted to mention here, mostly for my own reference and a reminder to check out that scene when I’m in Ghana. The article has lots of great information, even if I get the feeling that I’m to feel guilty for enjoying the privilege for being a crafter here in North America.
I’m staying in Accra, where Maker Faire Africa is held (unfortunately, not when I’ll be there). I’ve added a few links to the sidebar if you interested in reading more about some cool things Africans are doing DIY style. Oh, and a “mini” Maker Faire is coming to Vancouver is June!
