Issue 3
Africa, As We Know It - Hummingbird Journal
This issue engages with stories reanimated from memory, recaptured in the present and relived for the future. They propel explorations winding through busy streets, briefly stalling at intersections; before finally burrowing deep in our homes, perhaps to visit or dwell indefinitely. Or, peradventure, the scenic route is taken as they meander through markets, run in rivers, totter in trotros, never finding a resting place, continuously building momentum.
Issue 2
Ghana's Histories - Hummingbird Journal
In this issue, you, the reader, are asked to touch the past as it lives in the present, tuck memory into language and serve it with life. And the writers search and tap from an old palm wine that still tastes like home. What does history feel like when it is handed back to you as a living memory? Ghana is a country layered with histories—written and oral, celebrated and obliterated, remembered and forgotten. From precolonial kingdoms to the transatlantic slave trade, from independence to everyday moments that never entered the archives, our past continues to shape who we are. In this issue, we tap into this expansive archive of rich history.
