Transcript of 1st Petition 23 March All Signatures and Email Addresses Petition_44112_04!05!2011[1]
Save The Africa Centre!Published by Karen Sussex on Mar 23, 2011
Background (Preamble):
Letter to the Trustees of the Africa Centre (Registered Charity No: 313510)38 King Street, Covent Garden, London WC2E 8JT 21 March 2011
We the undersigned, understand that you are proposing to sell the 38 King Street premises and close down the AfricaCentre as it presently exists.
While we appreciate that you have done what you can to keep the Centre going, we believe exercising the option to sellthis property held in trust is a mistake. Not all alternatives have been exhausted. There are other options that should beexplored with wider consultation and support.
The Centre has been a meeting place, a cultural beacon and an iconic landmark in the centre of London for more than40 years. Given by the Catholic Church in perpetuity to the people of Africa, huge numbers of Africans and othersinterested in Africa have been to meetings and events there. These people are stakeholders too and they would like asay in its future. To simply decide to sell the building without consulting them would be a betrayal of your duty as aTrustee.
Africa has recently risen up the international agenda. Although the economic recession has affected the western world,Africa is the fastest growing region on earth at the moment. Investors, new and old, are engaged with, and in, Africancountries as never before. In other ways too, in the arts, music and literature, Africa's importance is experiencing arenaissance. It would be ironic if, at the very moment the rest of the world takes Africa seriously, the Africa Centreclosed.
Furthermore the meetings and events programme has recently been revived thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication ofa few individuals and the numbers attending indicate the demand for African events in the centre of London is high andgrowing. Abandoning the Africa Centre now would be to lose a gilt edged opportunity, perhaps especially consideringthe upcoming platform offered by the 2012 Cultural Olympiad in London. A study three years ago indicated wide support for the Centre and concluded that raising money to revamp the buildingwas feasible. We believe this is still the case and that not all possibilities for raising the necessary money have beenexplored. There are alternatives. While the ground floor and lower ground floor are available for functions, meetings andsocial events, the upper floors are now fully occupied by organisations involved in Africa, who bring in income andfurther the aims of the Centre. They have indicated they wish to be involved in the regeneration of the Africa Centre atKing Street.
We see no evidence that alternative ways forward have been fully explored, no discussions with those who use theAfrica Centre have been held, no evidence that the price being offered is the best that can be realised and no plan tocontinue the Africa Centre's mission at another home.
Petition Text:
We, the undersigned call on the Trustees of the Africa Centre not to sell the Africa Centre before full public consultationhas taken place.

Time changes , that is true. But if we get rid of something as influential as the Africa centre what will replace it???Another office space? Life will have no depth if we sell off what makes it worth while

The Africa Centre is a crucial part of London life for Africans and for those who love the continent. It's an importantmeeting place and place for exchanging views and information. It's a place for debate and learning... (I learnt Kiswahilithere many years ago) and I think it would be a terrible loss to the African community in London were it to be closed.... inparticular if there are no plans to replace it.

It would be a travesty and a huge shame on us all if we allow the Africa Centre to be sold. We need it - especially whereit is and we need to use it to the best of it's potential. this is a prime location we couldn't do any better than to have itwhere it is.
433 Kabage karanja Back to signature list
There can be a progressive caviat attched to any development on the site stipulating that the African centre be retainedin some shape or form. To make this possible a rethinking-desgn exercise exploring how the centre can become morecommercially viable should take place as soon as possible. A vision for the future of the centre needs to be thoughtthrough and presented.

The Africa Centre has been and remains a mecca for both Africans in the UK and all who love and are concerned forthis vast continent. It was of particular importance during the dark days of apartheid in South Africa & Namibia.

We Love the Africa Centre, for all that it stands for, not only for the indigenous people of Africa, but to also expand thewider implication of having a space where other cultures may come to integrate with the african / Diaspora culture!
Without having a place to regard as a central point to engage so many topics, events, and practices significant to blackculture, this would be a sad and crippling blow for those seeking to broaden their understanding about Africa culture.

When I schooled and worked in the UK, the Africa Centre was a place I took my European friends and businesscolleagues, to help them understand African Culture. It would be a terrible shame to let the place go.Please save the centre for Africans living abroad.
358 Christine Eyene Back to signature list
There is a vibrant African and Diaspora community in the UK and a number of arts professionals as never beenconsulted to explore further possibilities to revive the centre. My experience of the Africa Centre as member of staff from2002 to 2004 is that it replicated all the signs of bad governance that characterise the African continent. But there ismore to the art community and it is the Africa Centre's obligation to protect our cultural heritage in the UK.
351 Kwaku Kwaku Back to signature list
What a shame that in 2011 when we're marking as the UN's Year of People Of African Descent, an important centre forAfrican people is not in the news for a positive reason, but rather because the Trustees are considering selling it!
The pool of Trustees perhaps needs to be expanded to take in new members that can bring in new alternatives forsaving African Centre.
349 Barbara Campbell Back to signature list
If the purpose of the Africa Centre is to reflect and appreciate the African's in the UK etc, then please note that WE arestill here and we're a piece of the landscape of this country and so is this Centre. To want to scrap it is giving out thewrong message to African's born or now living in the UK. Is this another way of directing us to Heathrow? Pls keep thecentre, but PROMOTE it - only then will you see that is IS wanted and very much needed!

254 Gaylene Gould Back to signature list
As Founder of the Underground Railroad network, a network of black UK artists and creative entrepreneurs, I stronglyadvise against this move to sell off the Africa Centre before a creative consultation process to review options. Havingcreative space in London, is much more lucrative in the long-run. Investment can always be drawn down to support itscore aims - we don't doubt that. Letting it go will lead to a state of severe impoverishment.

Dear turstees,
I think that giving out this place at the heart of London without having a claer and transparent plan for the activities of theAfrica Centre will mean that it will basically cese to exist.

237 Ade Akinlaja Back to signature list
I have been using the Africa Centre for several decades and find it a lifeline to African Resources, closing it with no planfor its future appears rather short sighted to me. The trustees need to balance the tangible and intangible cost-benefitwhen deciding.

The Centre is a meeting place and events for African people in London for more than 40 years. Some of these people are stakeholders and have a right to participate its consultation.

The Africa Centre needs to stay open for those in this country - Africans and non-Africans, and those who come to thiscountry who are passionate about Africa. It is a place to meet and do things African, debate Africa, and inform aboutAfrica; it is a home away from home!
161 E Kudzoe Back to signature list
An action to close the Africa centre at this juncture when there is even more promise and concrete signs of theemergence of continent is shortsighted. While focus is on the BRIC countries and in the middle of the biggest downturnendured by the Western world for decades, analysts have pointed to the emerging economies of Africa, which looked attogether are likely to present their era of growth, cultural and social emergence that our connections from London willbenefit.
