FEMINISM IS A TERRITORY.
A SOCIO-CULTURAL LATITUDE THAT WOMEN HAVE FOUGHT TO OCCUPY.
A SOCIETAL SPACE TO VOICE AGENCY, CRITICAL THROUGHT, TO MAKE CLAIMS, ASSERT MANTRAS AND MANIFESTOS, TO TAKE A STANCE AND TO MOVE MOVEMENTS.
WITHIN THIS BROAD LANDSCAPE OF FEMINISM, THERE ARE POCKETS THAT AFRICAN FEMINISM OCCUPIES. ONE THAT REPRESENT THE THOUGHTS, EXPRESSIONS, LANGUAGE, AND BEHAVIOR THAT ARE UNIQUE TO AFRICAN WOMEN.
IN PARTICULARLY, THE EXPERIENCES BOTH HISTORICALLY AND IN MORE CONTEMPORARY WAYS, THAT ARE BORN FROM EXPERIENCES THAT ARE UNIQUELY AFRICAN.
OR THAT IS UNIQUE TO A PARTICULAR KIND OF AFRICAN WOMAN SUCH AS THE EXPERIENCES OF THE AFRICAN COSMOPOLITAN WOMAN, THE AFRICAN DIASPORIC EXPERIENCE OR THE REALITIES OF THE TRANSNATIONAL AFRICAN WOMAN WHO OPERATES FROM MULTIPLE CULTURAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC PLAINS.
THE WORK "I'M SORRY BABE, BUT WHITE FEMINISM IS NEXT DOOR" FROM THE PROJECT, AREA BABES & ASHAWO SUPERSTARS, 2019 SPEAKS TO THE WAYS AFRICAN WOMEN MIGHT NAVIGATE THES TERRITORIES OF FEMINISM OR THE BEHAVOURS, ACTIONS OR STANCE THE LANDSCAPE OF FEMINISM INFORM.
