Brève description / annotation

These proceedings emerge from the symposium "Reclaim: Narratives of African Women Artists," organised by AWARE: Archives of Women Artists, Research and Exhibitions, in partnership with the École du Louvre, as part of the Africa2020 Season. They bring together research on the practices and trajectories of women from various African countries, spanning from modernist artists to independence activists, and contemporary voices. While African women artists have long received little recognition, this publication seeks to fill some of the gaps and examine the patterns underlying these dynamics. In doing so, it aims to contribute to the revalorisation of African women artists' role, as well as to broader reflections on the mechanisms of knowledge production in cultural history.
