Closing Plenary & Keynote by Brian Kagoro

Brian Kagoro is the Managing Director of Programmes, Open Society Foundations. Speaking on Vision for the Future and the Reparations Manifesto, Brian reminded participants that repair is not an abstract idea, but a living, collective responsibility. He challenged the audience to move beyond rhetoric, stating that “you cannot change oppression by a system of racial capitalism without having a system of empowerment.” Brian called for honesty about complicity, noting that “the biggest problem in repair and injustice is you and me.” He also urged African institutions, artists, and thinkers to reject performative intellectualism and build real ecosystems of repair, “we can only demand what we know was wrong, but we can only create what we know is possible.”
