– A rooftop bar. Young professionals sip Dawa cocktails while a DJ plays a mix of Afrobeat and electronic house music. The reporter interviews a group of university students who explain how they use Twitter to follow their favorite Nigerian musicians and South African reality TV stars. “We’re not just consumers,” says one student. “We make memes, we remix songs. This is our culture.”
Here’s a structured paper proposal based on your prompt, “Video 2013 Africa Install Lifestyle and Entertainment.” I’ve interpreted this as a study of how video as a medium (music videos, viral clips, digital content) in 2013 Africa intersected with installation art, lifestyle branding, and entertainment.
