Rehema Chachage (b. 1987, Dar es Salaam) is a visual artist based between Dar es Salaam and Vienna (where she is working towards her PhD in practice with the Academy of Fine Art Vienna). Her practice can be viewed as a performative archive which untraditionally collects stories, rituals and other oral traditions in different media; performance, photography, video, text as well as physical installations which trace hi/stories directly tied to women in the Swahili region; and which employ written texts, oral and aural stories, melodies, and relics from several re-enacted/performed rituals as source of research.
