Gladys Kalichini (born 1989 in Chingola, Zambia) is a contemporary
visual artist and academic who investigates how women have been
portrayed in relation to a dominant, colonial past. For example,
the artist sheds light on instances in which women have been
deleted from historical narratives and the collective memory of
society. As a result of her extensive research, Kalichini has
demonstrated that women were intentionally marginalised in the
official representations of Zambia's and Zimbabwe's struggles for
independence. In her elaborate multimedia installations and video
art, which she often develops on the basis of research material and
photos from archives, Kalichini highlights the omissions in the
dominant representations of the two countries' fight for freedom.
She thus expands the history of their liberation struggle by
drawing attention to the deletion and invisibility of female
freedom fighters. By reminding the public of several of these
women, Kalichini creates a diverse and complex alternative
narrative of national independence.
