Notes on contributors

Onyeka Igwe

Onyeka Igwe is an artist, filmmaker and researcher. Her work is aimed at the question: how do we live together? Not to provide a rigid answer as such, but to pull apart the nuances of mutuality, co-existence and multiplicity. Onyeka’s practice figures sensorial, spatial and counter-hegemonic ways of knowing as central to that task.

Litheko Modisane

Litheko Modisane is the author of South Africa’s Renegade Reels: The Making and Public Lives of Black-Centred Films (2013, Palgrave Macmillan). Modisane’s scope of interests includes film and archive, heritage, representations of Nelson Mandela in film and repertoires of sartorial representations in the contemporary political public sphere in South Africa.
