Convened by artist Christian Nyampeta, École du soir (The Evening School) is a platform for "thinking Africa" through film, music, experimental translation, workshops, and publications. École du soir offers space for individual and shared study of an urgent question that is further planetary in scope: how do we live together?

Philosopher Souleyman Bachir Diagne proposed that "thinking Africa" is to think from language to language. École du soir aims to make this translated knowledge available to all those who are interested in learning together about and celebrating the offerings given by new, ancestral, spoken, felt, and written African knowledges toward the making of linkages between the stories told about historical changes and cultural transformations and today's enduring challenges of how to live and learn together. To make another knowledge possible.
