Culture Is Data — And It’s Disappearing
In today’s world, we obsess over saving digital files.
We back up every photo, every document, every song.
But what about our cultural data?
Our languages, symbols, crafts, and stories are living archives — and they are at risk of permanent deletion.
According to UNESCO (2022), nearly half of humanity’s cultural expressions face extinction in the next century unless urgently preserved.
Culture is more than memory; it’s a database of human wisdom.
At Culture Illustro, we’re digitizing and illustrating Africa’s cultural wealth — making sure future generations can access, learn from, and be inspired by it.
Because when culture disappears, it’s not just history we lose — it’s humanity.
