Phase I: Case Studies(2018-2020)
The case studies phase, in short, was a period in which AMPRSND tried and tested the various assumptions made about the East African creative economy in order to conclude whether or not the venture was viable
Phase II: Foundation (2021-2024)
The foundation phase, in short, will entail the business -side of AMPRSND. Establishing the structures and organisation of AMPRSND in order to fully operate for a consistent period of 12-months. This period will be 80% focused on internal affairs in order to build a foundation on which African creatives can stand on feeling proud and secure that their intellectual property is in trustworthy hands

The Team
MICHEAL MISAKI OGOSOCo-founderTHE LACK OF INCOME OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPERTISE WITHIN THE AFRICAN CREATIVE ECONOMY FOR AFRICANS IS WHAT INSPIRED ME TO BEGIN THIS JOURNEY. BEING A CREATIVE MYSELF, I HAVE WITNESSED THE LACK OF VALUE PLACED ON AFRICAN CREATIVES AND HOPE TO BE A PART OF THIS CHANGE. HAVING READ ON THE TYRANNY OF THE OR, I BEGAN TO HAVE NEW PERSPECTIVES REGARDING ONE’S ABILITY TO BE MULTI-FACETED.
ISHAQ BUGIMBI SEKALALACo-founderAS AN ARTIST FIRST, THE SOLVING OF THIS CREATIVE CHALLENGE IS PERSONAL. THE LACK OF A RESOURCE SUCH AS THE ONE AMPRSND INTENDS ON BEING, FORCED ISAAC TO DEVELOP MULTIPLE SKILLS IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE QUALITY OF OUTPUT HE WAS LOOKING FOR. IT WAS THIS DEVELOPMENT THAT BIRTHED THE FRAMEWORK FOR HOW WE WANT TO GROW OTHER CREATORS.
