TheSwissPanAfrican draws on work and study in Switzerland, the UK and Tanzania.
Tallulah Patricia Bär was born and raised in Zürich to a Ghanaian mother and Egyptian father. Her relationship with Africa is personal, academic and lived rather than defined by a passport: she has spent extended periods in Tanzania, returned regularly to the Ruvuma region, and explored questions of development and place through her academic work. Her professional experience has since taken her through finance, international development, education, culture and cross-sector work in Switzerland and beyond.
The name reflects that experience of moving between places rather than belonging neatly to one. It does not claim to speak for Africa. It describes a perspective shaped by more than one place, and a practice interested in the relationships between them.
