House of African Feminisms (HoAF) is a regional project, aiming at regional exchange and networking of African feminists. African feminisms deal with the conditions of African women* (also queer/trans*) and include different, partly critical, movements, which in turn are in connection/conflict with the feminisms of the Global North. It is developed participatively with partners from the entire region.
Call for Proposals: Women’s Power in the Everyday
The Goethe-Institut network in Sub-Saharan Africa is supporting artistic projects in the area of African Feminisms with a specific focus on the everyday life of African women of all generations.
This open call invites African artists, collectives and creative practitioners to produce a digital documentary artwork that can be presented on the website “House of African Feminisms”. We are looking for reportages, photographic essays or short films that question and engage around the role of African women in the everyday life and how their power and role manifests itself in their profession and daily life practices. We want to discover new perspectives of “African Feminisms” and female empowerment in the daily life of people, not only in artistic and academic contexts. How do we define the powerful and strong African woman? What are the contexts in which these women move, act and speak and which are the contexts these women (re)create?
