Interdisciplinary artist, researcher, and storyteller Efua Oyofo discusses the layers of her multi-sensory cultural heritage project, “udamalore”.

This installation tells audio, tactile, and visual African stories of triumphant women, by blending together multiple aspects of African heritage and warfare - and thus building a living archive of African women's lives and identities.
In the second half of the conversation on African Feminisms and Polycrisis, Marilyn Kamuru and Brenda Wambui delve deeper into the embodiment of polycrisis and how it lives in the bodies of African women. They discuss how African women in particular can fight back against prevailing paradigms that create and perpetuate polycrisis, as well as the role of non-governmental bodies/NGOs in this fight. They offer a compassionate critique on the traditional structures within movements, such as NGOs, as well as how these structures can be reimagined to be more accountable to movements.
