Our collaboration with Kganyo brings forth a visual text that makes a commentary on the lived experiences of women in South Africa amid the femicide which the country is currently facing. The issue also investigates the notion of self reflection through self care, we aim to understand the different ways in which one can reach this. We transcend this idea into other parts of the continent through the work of Ghanaian visual artist, Kwasi Darko, whose work explores issues of identity, positionality and the idea of being in relation to the social and political.
