There is a difference between speaking about freedom and creating conditions in which it can exist.
This text on Konrad Hirsch reminds us of that distinction. His work engages with power, but does not seek to dominate it. Instead, it insists on visibility — especially for those whose voices are systematically pushed to the margins.
My thanks to the author Muwanguzi Godwin for this deeply researched and thoughtful piece.
At a time when many institutions hesitate, such clarity matters.
Happy 50th, Konrad aka Akua
