Collection: New Media and Literary Initiatives in Africa (NEMLIA)
Description: Chimurenga’s new publishing project is a once-off, one-day-only edition of a fictional pan African newspaper to be released on “Black Wednesday”, October 19th 2011 – a historic day in South Africa that marks the banning of numerous Black Consciousness organizations and independent newspapers by the old apartheid regime. Titled The Chimurenga Chronic, the project is an intervention into the newspaper as a vehicle of knowledge production and dissemination. Our sense of history, our sense of what is important and our sense of record are all marked by the newspaper medium. To explore this, the Chimurenga Chronic is backdated to the week of May 18-24 2008, the period marked by the outbreak of so-called xenophobic violence in South Africa. A low-tech time-travel machine, The Chimurenga Chronic seeks to provide an alternative to mainstream representations of history, on the one hand filling the gap in the historical coverage of this event, whilst at the same time reopening it. The objective is not to revisit the past to bring about closure, but rather to provoke and challenge our perceptions.
