Testimonies of history is a community based project which aims at redesigning (rewriting) the history of Cameroon exactly as it took place. For a very long time, Cameroonian scholars, especially historians, have been complaining that the history lessons thought in schools and colleges are reflections of the mind of the colonial masters. Infact, European and Asisn history occupy almost 99% of the curriculum.

This project uses work that I am doing with yout as well as my own personal reflections on and creations of community history to create multi-media representations of history both online and offline.

Re-Mapping Our (his)Stories is a collection of stories, a preservation of lives and a reconstruction of histories.  Untold stories posses the power to analyze, restructure, and overthrow systems that hold us captive.  Communities must unite around stories of common history to seek the roots of oppression and fight the systems that hide those stories in the first place.  Re-Mapping Our (his)Stories is a multi-media exploration of his-story, her-story, my-story and your-story.
