AFROTAK TV cyberNomads - OUR Project-History
The Beginning
The Diaspora experiences of the AFROTAK TV cybernomads team serve as a pool for a variety of contacts around Europe and around the Black Atlantic.
In 2001 we started with an old 300 MHz Pentium computer, which was the first ideas for the project.
Michael Kueppers-Adebisi's long-term passion for the documentation of the Afro-German experience as a diaspora in private archives, together with his original concept for a black.
The concept for a digital culture pilot project dedicated to the integration of selfempowering migrant diaspora communities into the German mainstream what developed in close co-operation with Thorsten Schilling - the head of the multimedia department at BpB (Federal department for Political Education in Germany) in Summer 2001.
In fall of 2001, the BpB has been involved in the development of a digital architecture for cyberNomads as a pilot community project for ISD Berlin eV (Initiative Black Germans and Blacks in Germany).
January 2002 cyberNomads opened its office in the old Jewish quarter in the heart of Berlin Mitte at Hackischer Markt.A strategy plan for the development of the community For political education in NRW.
In summer 2002 we have a major multimedia design company to supply the project with a professional content management system. The goal is to provide a platform uniting the various isolated and often fragmented Black German Diaspora communities of African descent around Germany. As a result we had the first major content management system used by a non-profit initiative in Germany.
Due to our avant-garde concept the Bertelsmann Foundation in 2002 chose the project as one of the 15 best social business ideas from over 600 competition entries worldwide.
We called the databank behind it, the "mother ship archives" the launched in autumn 2002 in Berlin.
At the end of 2004 co-founder Abdulrahman Satti left the project to focus on his artistic development.
Since 2005 we keep the project alive with our private funds and resources.
