Alliance Française
Call for Proposals from African Women Artists
Description
Women artists are invited to explore the conference’s legacy through the lens of today’s feminist movements and global socio-political shifts by proposing ideas for an interactive art project: Rewind, Remix, Reclaim.
➡️ Rewinds to the voices and moments of the 1985 conference
➡️ Remixes them with today’s feminist movements and activism, reimagining and critiquing the strategies set out 40 yrs ago
➡️ Reclaims the unfinished goals of 1985
Using experiential art media: video art, film, soundscapes, conceptual art that lends itself to immersive installations, the concept should bridge the past and the present asking: What progress has been made? What still needs to change? How can today’s generation reclaim the unfinished work?
What new strategies can be developed that are more suitable for the East African context creating their own artistic resistance?
Eligibility
✅ Must be African Women Artists based in Kenya
✅ Open to single artist or a collective of artists
✅ Categories: Experiential art for immersive installationsNB: “Our notion of womanhood is inclusive. Those who define themselves as non-binary, queer, and trans are part of it.”
