Welcome
The African Digital Humanities Project Hackathon: Reclaiming African Voices brings together students, researchers, developers, and creatives to reimagine how African histories, languages, and lived experiences are preserved and shared in the digital age. Over an intensive, collaborative sprint, participants will design innovative digital tools that recover marginalized narratives, transform archival practices, and amplify subaltern voices across the continent. From AI-powered language preservation to interactive maps of resistance and community-driven oral history platforms, the hackathon challenges participants to bridge technology and the humanities in meaningful, socially grounded ways.
Rooted in principles of decolonisation, accessibility, and community engagement, this event is more than a competition—it is a space to co-create the future of African knowledge systems. The most impactful solutions will not only demonstrate technical creativity, but also contribute to sustainable, inclusive digital heritage practices across Africa.
