As part of the Africa2020 Season, The Power of My Hands presents the works of sixteen female artists from several English- and Portuguese-speaking African countries or the diaspora. Drawing on their own stories, these artists address the social issues that determine the status of women. New essays by Suzana Sousa, Odile Burluraux, Julie Crenn, and Zethu Matebeni are followed by interviews with each artist. Blending stories of trauma and hope, this book reflects their life experiences and personal commitments as African women artists. Liberating, their words and their works echo contemporary issues of gender and sexuality and tend to deconstruct an art world still too centered on the West as the norm and model. Bilingual French-English catalogue
