UTA-Do African Cities workshop is a weeklong program aimed at urban scholars, activists, and artists. It includes lectures, interactive seminars, field visits, panels, spaces for collaborative and corporeal thinking and theorization, and, above all, efforts to create a community of urban scholars who proceed with an ethics of care and generosity.

In 2022 and 2023, the workshop took place in Nairobi, Kenya. In 2024, the workshop will take place in Dar es Salaam. Partners for the 2024 workshop include Ardhi University and the Just City Platform (FES-Tanzania). The program includes contributions from, among others, Gautam Bhan, Stefan Ouma, Wangui Kimari, Adam Bledsoe, Huda Tayob, Tatu Limbumba, and Youssuf Al Bulushi.

The event will be held in three venues: Ardhi University, FES-Tanzania, and the Goethe Institute.

"The USF has played a crucial role in creating space for urban research that not only moves beyond academic spheres but also values embodied, decolonial, and insurgent ways of knowing. As a queer geographer working in and through the messy, affective terrains of urban India, this Fellowship didn’t just fund my research — it affirmed it. It gave me the courage and capacity to experiment with form, to centre marginal voices, and to hold space for joy, pain, memory, and resistance in my work. I remain in awe of the nurturing, and genuinely transformative support USF continues to offer its Fellows — during, and far beyond, the fellowship period."
