RESIZING AFRICA CORRECTLY ON THE WORLD MAP

In this edition of Hot Topic on WESTAFRICA.NEWS, we speak with Dr Hassan Aliyu, artist and President of the Nigerian Art Society, UK, on the compelling subject of resizing Africa correctly on the world map.
For many years, Africa’s actual size has been poorly understood because of the way the continent is commonly represented on global maps. Dr Aliyu approaches this issue not only as a question of geography, but also as a matter of history, identity, education and cultural confidence.
Through his artistic work and recent major exhibition in the UK, he invites audiences to reconsider how Africa is seen — by the world and by Africans themselves.
This conversation explores the power of maps, the role of art in challenging inherited ideas, and why correcting Africa’s image matters in the global imagination.
