State of Emergency - Harakati za Mau Mau kwa Haki, Usawa na Ardhi Yetu is an ongoing documentary project in collaboration with Mau Mau war veterans and Kenyans who survived colonial atrocities.
Through live re-enactments or “demonstrations”, a (re)visualisation of the struggle for independence from British colonial rule in the 1950s is created, showing past experiences in present days, with a future audience in mind.
The project seeks to shed light on the blind spots of history by creating new “imagined documents” that fill the gaps in the historical archives.
State of Emergency is a collaborative attempt at reconstructing and reimagining possible futures of reparation and reconciliation.
