Gladys Kalichini
»Visualising Resistance in Post-Independence African Nations«

Abstract
This presentation deliberates on my practice as an artist and art historian that focuses on narratives about women to expound on social, political and cultural phenomena in post-independence African nations. The presentation will articulate a notion of in-visibility that underpins my practice. Within the context of my work, in-visibility is defined as a dynamic process in which independence narratives evolve over time, sometimes revealing memories associated with women and at other times rendering women invisible. This notion of in-visibility is used to question the structural conditions, and discursive formations that produce invisibility and tokenism visibility. In the latter part of the presentation, I will focus on three of my visual projects that form part of a broader project titled InVisible Freedom Fighters that seeks to assemble erased and fragmented archives in order to construct emancipatory sites of memory that store multiple histories.
