Ubuntu; Afro-Complutense Resistance
Description
After 10 years of history, Kwanzaa now has its own mural at the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology of the Complutense University.
Thus, 'Ubuntu: Afro-Complutense Resistance' is born—a work created alongside the artist @semilla_art22 that celebrates our memory, our collective strength, and the presence of the Afro community within the university space.
The central figure—an Afro-descendant woman with a steady gaze—embodies dignity, pride, and resistance. The color orange connects Africa and Latin America as living territories of memory and identity, weaving a history that goes beyond the Eurocentric narrative.
Among the mural's elements are messages that move us and represent us: 'Decolonize your mind,' 'Student resistance,' 'Intersectional Afrofeminism.' Words that invite us to question, transform, and reclaim our presence at the university.
This mural is a collective manifesto: a declaration of belonging and a struggle for spaces that are truly inclusive, safe, and anti-racist.
