Wowsers 2013 was a sure-fire rollercoaster of a year for us at AFRORETRO.  Ups, downs, upside downs, exhilaration to near vomit-induced fear.  Hence I sought to see in the New Year calmly in the rolling fields of Suffolk.  Long walks, good friends, country pubs and oh yeah my lap top with a 6th of January proposal deadline…a project to refine, write and describe, a budget to formulate, complete with marketing and funding strategy…well this is me we’re talking about.  We’ve applied to Yinka Shonibare ‘s Guest Projects Africa…but more about that later.
