Go Luis!
Luis Munana is definitely one of the people who are having a great year, as all he does is win.
Having just arrived from France where he had the opportunity to present his Waka Waka Moo children's programme to leading players in the global entertainment industry, Luis Munana has now just jetted off to London.
Munana will be giving a presentation as a panellist at the 2018 Oxford Africa Conference.
The conference is an annual student-run gathering, with an audience of about 350 people from across Africa and its Diaspora. Previous speakers at the conference have included prolific leaders such as Graça Machel and international advocate for women and children's rights Michel Elsie Kanza.
Munana received the news earlier last month and he says he is honoured to be part of the conference.
“I was scared because they also invited the president of Ghana and our first lady so I was like, 'waar pas ek?' This is Oxford so it's overwhelming,” he said.
The 2018 conference is themed 'Enough rhetoric! Catalysing an Era of Concrete Action'. Intentionally daring, the theme encapsulates the vision for a solution-driven and proactive conference, and will include how to deal with the contemporary challenges and opportunities within the African continent. Munana will be on the panel on African art and media and its role in entertainment and public expressions on social and cultural issues. The talk is scheduled to take place tomorrow and can be followed on @oxafrica on Instagram for live feeds, updates and links to YouTube videos.
One of the reasons he was invited is because they have taken notice of his work.
Munana will be touching topics like challenges he faces as a creative and how he overcame them and what it is like being a creative in Namibia.
“Namibia benefits because it creates awareness of the different artistic projects that I will mention. The projects include Waka Waka Moo, Voigush and the Windhoek Fashion Week. I also benefit as a brand, as I get to learn, mingle and network with great minds from all over the world. I am truly honoured,” said Munana.
