"As architects DK Osseo-Asare and Yasmine Abbas have proposed, Sankofa can be linked with innovation practice by leveraging the wisdom of both contemporary society and our ancestors to craft new and better "ways of doing". Learning from existing indigenous technology systems can greatly improve productivity, quality and amplify value-creation through human-centered design that is culturally-tuned to African spaces."
