Niger Artisans: Maryama Ibrahim
The Hausa faculty of Boston University's African Language Program created the Niger Artisans Project to provide students with a video-based intermediate/advanced Hausa course linked to artisanry in the Republic of Niger. Since 1987 when BU’s [...]first group of study abroad students went to Niger, BU students have been linked to the National Museum of Niger in Niamey where many acquired skills in artisanry by serving apprenticeships to some of Niger’s most famous artisans. This video course was designed to train students to be conversant in the culture and linguistics of artisanry in the Hausa language. As the project unfolded, the candid conversations with the artists often brought out topics related to modernity, tradition, and a changing economy. The final product is twelve in-depth profiles of Nigerien artisans ranging from silversmiths to fashion designers, each accompanied by transcripts in both Latin and Ajami script. This video features Maryama Ibrahim, a hair braider.

Hausa Proverb 08
Proverbs are an essential learning tool for students of African languages. In the African Languages Proverbs Project, the Boston University African Studies Center has collected short performances by African theater troupes in their native languages. [...]These languages include Wolof from Senegal, Hausa from Niger, Amharic from Ethiopia, Xhosa and Zulu from South Africa and Swahili from Tanzania. Each performance focuses on one of ten common proverbs and places them within a cultural and social context. These videos are designed for advanced students of the languages and are an invaluable tool for developing language proficiency and cultural competence. While they stand on their own as authentic, and entertaining, learning resources, they can also be used as supplements to the African Languages Proverbs Project workbooks.
This video features the Hausa proverb 'Rena kama, ka ga gayya.'
For further information on the BU African Language Program, please contact: Professor Fallou Ngom, Director of the ASC African Language Program (fngom@bu.edu) or Dr. Peter D. Quella, ASC Assistant Director (pdquella@bu.edu).
