ANANSI is a Pan-African group of artists distributed across the globe who collaborate on art, knowledge, and organizing. We are artists, activists, anarchists, inventors, economists, guerrilla theorists, creatives, and collaborators. We are both trans- and anti-disciplinary, stepping with ease between the many worlds we inhabit. Together, we are greater than the sum of our parts.

We steward a commons of:

  • Material resources – money, equipment
  • Infrastructure – ANANSI Residential Compound, Funkwhale
  • People-power – time banking, commitment statements
  • Knowledge – documentation, creative assets

We are the stewards of an emergent ANANSI Philosophy of Black holistic distribution. This grows out of Pan-African interdependence and seeks to disrupt centralization in politics, technology, economics, community, and culture.
