Dear Wikimedians, We are excited to announce the theme for the 13th iteration of Wiki Loves Africa <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa> - IDENTITY <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2027/Theme>
IDENTITY <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2027/Theme> explores the many ways African communities express who they are - through language, clothing, music, dance, ceremonies, food, stories, knowledge, traditions, relationships with nature, and everyday life. We invite communities across Africa to start thinking about how you can document and celebrate these diverse expressions of African identity through photography, video, and audio.
