“Dar’s street scenes tell a story of the city’s history, its people and their livelihoods – of the original inhabitants of Mzizima, the Sultans from Oman, the Germans, the British, the Indians, waves of immigrants from rural Tanzania and its surrounds.
Like the rings in a tree’s trunk, the fortunes of the city are signified by successive layers of change, visual layers now in danger of being erased.”
from the TEDxDar presentation (One of the most inspiring days I have had in Dar es Salaam – a huge hongera to all involved!)
