A Vision for Nemayiana:
Capturing Community, Innovation, and Tradition
This illustration was created during the Nemayiana Community Visioning Workshop, bringing to life the key values and aspirations shared throughout the discussions.
At its core, the drawing reflects essential themes: community, innovation, information, participation, nature, and sustainability—all unfolding within a rapidly evolving physical and cultural landscape. As rural traditions meet urban growth, and ancestral knowledge merges with modern technologies, Nemayiana envisions a future that honors both heritage and progress.
This artwork serves as an early glimpse into the dreams, histories, and guiding principles shaping Nemayiana: The African Museum of Science and Technology—a place where knowledge is a blessing, and the past and future unite.

Mapping the Vision:
A Framework for Exhibitions and Programs
This content map serves as a foundational tool for shaping exhibitions and programs at Nemayiana. By organizing key content domains and cross-cutting themes, this framework helps align ideas with physical exhibition spaces and inspires the development of engaging exhibits and programs.
The following sections explore how these elements come together conceptually, offering examples of topics relevant to Nemayiana’s audiences and location.
At this early planning stage, diagrams like this are not rigid blueprints but guiding frameworks—designed to spark conversation, suggest possible directions, and leave room for refinement as the museum’s structure, galleries, and programs take shape.
