Samora Machel Monument and Museum
The Samora Machel Monument and Museum in Mbuzini, near Komatipoort in the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, marks the spot where the plane carrying the then-President of Mozambique crashed in 1986. It resulted in the deaths of President Machel and several Mozambican ministers. It was declared a National Heritage Site in 2006.
A few photographs and video footage of the monument and museum are presented in this video. The central feature of the monument is 35 tubes of steel that create a wailing sound in the wind.

3D Heritage Documentation - 3D Laser-scan Model of the Saint Sebastian Fortress on Mozambique Island
This is the animation of the Saint Sebastian Fortress on Mozambique Island.
Built in the 16th century by the Portuguese colonial rulers, the Fortress is one of the oldest and in its massive and sober military architecture one of the most impressive monuments of the Island. It bears witness to the island's early function as a major Portuguese trading port on the sea route to India for spices and ivory, and later for slave trade as of the second half of the 18th century. Its defensive forms are greatly inspired by Italian Renaissance military architecture and have basically remained unchanged since, as evidenced by illustrations and drawings of the period. (
This fort, is one of seven sites (forts/castles) documented by the Zamani Project, which were involved in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, between the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries. Get more information at our Slave Trade Story Map at
Zamaniproject.org/slavetrade
This 3D Model is produced by the Zamani Project (University of Cape Town) as part of the African Cultural Heritage Sites and landscapes documentation project. It is derived from high resolution terrestrial Laser-Scan data and represents the site as is with cm accuracy and without any augmentation.
This anmiation was done by Mr Pascal Mau, Hochschule Furtwangen University, working as an intern at the Zamani Project, University of Cape Town.

Weapons being made into art as country heals from war
1. Man handing in weapons to the Transforming Arms into Ploughshares/Christian Council of Mozambique (TAE/CCM) offices
2. CCM vehicle driving off with weapons
3. Bicycle being given as exchange for weapons handed to CCM
4. Weapons being destroyed with saw
5. Artists at work at the 'Nucleo de Arte'
6. Various of artist Goncalo Mabunda welding old bits of weaponry into artwork
7. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Goncalo Mabunda, Artist:
From the time when we transform it into a work of art, it creates a situation where people can reflect. When they reflect they ask why things are like this. It's a way of showing something that yesterday was used to kill can be used today to promote peace. Our spirit of thinking is transforming something that used to kill into something beautiful.
8. Cutaway of 'The Model' piece
9. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Goncalo Mabunda, Artist:
I call this piece 'The Model', which represents her beautiful hair and body, her movement, models have a certain way of walking, a certain way of behaving. For me there's no relation to the war.
10. National Coordinator of Transforming Arms into Ploughshares/Christian Council of Mozambique (TAE/CCM) project Mr Boaventura Zita walking into the CCM office
11. SOUNDBITE (English): Boaventura Zita, National Coordinator TAE/CCM project :
'They will pound their swords and their spears into rakes and shovels. They will never again make war or attack one nation.' So based on this passage (from the Bible), CCM started peace education with the aim of disarming minds and hands to create the conditions for peace.
12. Cutaway of 'The Model' piece
13. SOUNDBITE (English): Boaventura Zita, National Coordinator TAE/CCM project :
One theory in chemistry - that nothing is lost in nature, there is qualitative and quantitative transformation. So in the same sense for the church, the weapons that destroyed and killed people was transformed to be symbolic of beauty, of reconciliation.
14. Goncalo with his 'Freedom' piece
15. Close up of chained hands on 'Freedom' piece,
16. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Goncalo Mabunda, Artist:
I call this piece 'Freedom', which is a strange concept because I call it freedom but for example it is chained. In my concept, freedom is what he has in his mind, because even though he is chained, it doesn't mean he is not free, because freedom is what he able to think, expressing his opinions.
17. 'Helicopter' piece
18. Goncalo with 'Helicopter' piece
19. SOUNDBITE (Portuguese): Goncalo Mabunda, Artist:
Because I always have a concept in my work which is to make things contrary. In this case I make it contrary because, everyone, when they see a helicopter, they immediately think of the concept of war. I was inspired by a situation when there were floods here, we had to wait for helicopters from South African police to come here and save people who were in need at that time. I remembered that during the war there were many helicopters but when the time came when we needed helicopters to save lives, we didn't have them any more.
20. One of Goncalo Mabunda's pieces
LEAD IN :
Mozambique is recovering from two wars - the war of liberation from 1964 to 1974 and the civil war from 1976 to 1992.
Not only was this a period of death and destruction but after peace was announced the country was awash with weapons.
Innovative ways have, however, been found to deal with the weapons which many people still own.
The Christian Council of Mozambique, or CCM, in collaboration with the Mozambican government, has taken inspiration from the Bible to deal with the piles of armaments leftover from the war.
They are turned into artworks.
STORYLINE:
The Transforming Arms into Ploughshares project is run out of the CCM office in Maputo.

malangatana.mpg
Malangatana Ngwenya (1936 - 2011) was a Mozambican painter who specialised in vibrant, colourful, semi-grotesque depictions of people. The first part of the video shows detail of one of Malangatana's works discussed by Andre-Daniel Clerc (1902 - 1998) in the late 1980s, who met him as a youngster when he worked in the Swiss Mission in Lourenco Marques (later Maputo), and who was given the painting when he retired to Switzerland after 40 years in Mozambique. Clerc had also been instrumental in helping educate the Mozambican national hero Eduardo Mondlane, who was assassinated in 1969.
The second part shows a meeting between Clerc's family (daughters Francoise and Antoinette and husbands, and grandaughter Anna-Lise) and Malangatana, at his studio in Mozambique in 2007: they had been invited by the government to attend the launching of a book on Mondlane by his widow Janet, including extensive correspondence between Mondlane and Clerc, and the opening of a museum dedicated to Mondlane in his home village of Manjacaze. They had met Malangatana there - he had offered to translate proceedings for Antoinette - and arranged to visit his studio near Maputo, when he shared reminiscences about Clerc.
This is being put up to commemorate two great men: Andre-Daniel Clerc, and Malangatana Ngwenya. Their legacy lives on.

Pontiff arrives in Mozambique, drives away in Pope mobile
(4 Sep 2019) Pope Francis is opening a three-nation pilgrimage to southern Africa with a strategic visit to Mozambique.
Upon arrival in Maputo, Francis was greeted by President Filipe Jacinto Nyusi before proceeding to watch traditional dance performances and a military parade.
His trip comes just weeks after the country's ruling party and armed opposition signed a new peace deal, and weeks before national elections.
Thirty years after St. John Paul II begged Mozambicans to end their civil war, Francis is expected to endorse the new August 1 accord and urge its full implementation when he meets with government authorities on Thursday, his first full day in the region.
Francis is also expected to reach out to Mozambicans affected by cyclones that ripped into the country earlier this year, leaving more than 650 people dead and destroying vast swathes of crops on the eve of harvest.

Africa/Swaziland Summer 2018
During the summer of 2018, a group of us went to Africa and Swaziland, here are some pictures from our time away. Not all photos were taken by me.
Tree of Guns
A sculpture made out of decommissioned weapons powerfully symbolizes an end to war in Mozambique.
What happened to the millions of guns left at the end of Mozambique's terrible civil war in 1992? Many were exchanged for tools & sewing machines in an innovative 'swords into ploughshares' scheme, and others were broken up and turned into dramatic sculptures by Mozambican artists.
This film talks to the artists behind one sculpture called 'The Tree of Life' and follows its journey from Southern Africa to the British Museum in London.
Produced by Rooftop in association with Christian Aid for BBC's Africa Lives season. Camera: Al Waterson. Original film is 29 minutes long.
Faces Of Africa - Weapons of Art
For 17 years Mozambique was plagued by civil war that left the country shattered, with about a million lives lost and many displaced. 20 years later artists like Gonzalo are using the same weapons that tore their country to make artifacts and spread the message of peace and healing.
Workshop #1: Intellectual Commons event series
This fall, SA+P Dean Hashim Sarkis and Architecture's Mark Jarzombek organized a series of talks and workshops under the theme Intellectual Commons. The series launched on October 2 with a keynote lecture from Saskia Sassen titled, Where and how is the Global constituted? The second installment in the series, Academia and Agency in the Era of Global Change, a workshop with SA+P faculty Rania Ghosn, Jason Jackson, Gabriella Carolini, and Arindam Dutta, moderated by Saskia Sassen and Mark Jarzombek was held on October 9. A second workshop on November 15 moderated by Sassen and Jarzombek rounds out the conversation. Learn more about the series:

Intellectual Commons
At a time when digital communications are growing, the need for direct interaction is all the more vital. At a time when MIT is building bridges across schools and disciplines, we can no longer operate primarily at the scale of micro-units. This reflects neither the interests of the new generation nor the nature of the problems that the world is leaving at our doorstep.
I invite you to come up with ideas that reflect the values that we hold in common. The vitality of the School—a community invested in shaping better commons for the world, from the environment to cities to public spaces and public art—is the extent in which we can exercise our collective imaginary.
—Hashim Sarkis
