House of African Feminisms (HoAF) is a platform for feminist discourse, resources, and enlightenment, which showcases the works of various African feminist scholars, artists, and thinkers around the world. “Abafa(ba)zi” is a collaborative exhibition of new commissions, artistic experiments, and existing works by transdisciplinary women artists and researchers from the African continent. It is rooted in personal and familial narratives and connected to the womanism movement, underscoring the essential role of black women as shapers of everyday life and custodians of stories.
This touring exhibition presents works by female artists from Africa and the African diaspora working on African feminisms and different perspectives. It will serve as a platform for emerging and established artists, presenting their unique perspectives on themes such as gender, identity, culture and society. Through digital content and interactive elements, the exhibition aims to create an immersive experience that sparks dialogue and fosters understanding between diverse audiences.
