JOURNAL.

 

This is a space for collaboration and dialogue.

We strive to bridge the gap between the art world/archives and WANA women by keeping the following questions in mind: 

• How does a lack of documentation contribute to erasure? 

• Can documentation preserve a culture or a people? 

• How does documentation add to false narratives, and how does it contribute to the truth? 

• Can documenting dismantle stereotypes? 

• Will documenting help destabilise colonial projects? 

• How can we make visible the undocumented? 

• Why are some bodies deemed deserving of documentation whilst others are not?  

WANAWAL believes in free access to written and educational material and encourages our readers to save and share the information provided at free will (please provide reference/credit of authors).
