Not Herstory

Freedom

This is not her-story, neither was the colonial history that makes her visible to us today. But still, I imagine her telling us that she is always her own freedom.

Grateful to @si.hene @ritamawuena for the inspiration: a photograph of a young lady from Aburi, Ghana, ca. 1880s to 1890s.

Sing

This is not their herstory, neither was the colonial history that makes them visible to us today. But still, I imagine them reminding us to sing, because our silence will never protect us.

Grateful to @si.hene @ritamawuena for the inspiration: a photograph of Sisters from Akuapem, Ghana, ca. 1880-1895.
