RECLAMA (Harnessing Afro-Ecuadorian Women’s Heritage)
The RECLAMA project team are very happy to showcase photographs and other artworks created on our transnational, decolonial feminist research project during SLAS 2023. RECLAMA (Harnessing Afro-Ecuadorian Women’s Heritage) is committed to documenting the heritage of Afro-descendant and Black women in Esmeraldas Province, Ecuador. The exhibition will be in the ground floor foyer of the Peter Froggatt Centre.
Young Afro Ecuadorian women from across Esmeraldas have been key to the success of the project, working as peer researchers to collect oral history interviews with older women in their communities. A group of peer researchers and interviewees worked together to produce a series of creative outputs, including artwork, photographs and short documentaries, celebrating diverse aspects of their collective heritage.
This exhibition focuses on themes these women selected, including religious and spiritual practices, food and gastronomy, and aesthetics. Feel free to come along, pick up some postcards and find out more!
This exhibition is linked to a film screening and a paper that will be part of the double panel on “Women’s Narratives of Everyday Resistances from Territories in the Context of Colonialism and Extractivism”, that will take place on Thursday, March 30 1-2.30 (Session 3F) and 2.30-4 (Session 4F), both in PFC 02/011.
The RECLAMA project is a collaboration between activists and academics from Northumbria University, Universidad de San Francisco de Quito, and the Mujeres de Asfalto collective, funded by British Academy/GCRF.
