This Memory Will Not Fade by Gladys Kalichini (Achive Books, 2024)
Gladys Kalichini (b. 1989, Zambia) is a contemporary visual artist and scholar from Lusaka, Zambia. Her work centers around notions of erasure, memory, and representations and visibilities of women in colonial resistance histories. Her multi-layered installations draw largely from research material and archival photographs of women in independence struggles. Kalichini’s work challenges dominant and nationalist narratives that have historically erased women’s contributions to history and political change.
This Memory Will Not Fade is published as part of Kalichini's Henrike Grohs Art Awards where she was the main prize winner of the 2022.
With contributions by Rose Jepkorir, hn. lyonga and Natasha Omokhodion-Kalulu Banda.
