Pilau, chapati and chai \u2013 the food cultures of the East African coast are an exemplary expression of transcontinental interaction and shared histories. Spices, ingredients and dishes have traveled and continue to travel across the Ziwa Kuu, Afrasian Sea or Indian Ocean for generations. The cultural association UWATAB \u2013 (Umoja wa Watanzania Berlin-Brandenburg) offers a rare opportunity to experience the multi-layered cuisine of Tanzania and to enter into dialogue with one another.<\/p>\n

Okey in Turkey, Domino in Cuba, and Mahjong in China, playing is a fundamental human need and an integral part of every social configuration. Bao (Kiswahili for \u201cboard\u201d) is the most widespread board game in Tanzania, played at tea stalls, in pubs, on street corners, at home, or on the go, captivating and emotionalizing players.<\/p>\n

In the Foyer, tables invite you to try it out for yourself, with fundi (Kiswahili for \u201cteachers\u201d) breaking down the complexity, passing on their intergenerational game knowledge, and \u2013 at least \u2013 providing a small insight into this gaming culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
