Lauren Beukes mondialise la SF sud-africaine

Journaliste, illustratrice, critique, Lauren Beukes se fait un nom comme auteure de science-fiction en remportant le prestigieux prix Arthur C. Clarke du meilleur roman de science-fiction en 2011 avec Zoo City paru juste un an plus tôt. Comme elle le dit elle-même, Johannesburg, déjà construite dans l'imaginaire collectif comme la ville de tous les dangers aura servi le roman et c'est sa capacité à mélanger le fantastique et la réalité dans laquelle se côtoient usage des technologies et pratiques divinatoires, ségrégation et ultralibéralisme qui lui auront permis d'emporter la mise. Son succès vient directement en écho à un autre phénomène planétaire : District 9 (2009) du sud-africain Neill Blomkamp mondialisant ainsi la SF sud-africaine.

C'est à Paris en avril dernier où elle était de passage afin de promouvoir sont troisième roman que nous l'avons rencontrée. Lauren Beukes revient sur les raisons qui font de l'Afrique du Sud la figure de proue de la SF africaine. Sur la capacité des auteurs à mettre en jeu l'histoire si spécifique de ce pays, les spectres du passé et ses réminiscences.

Fatoumata Diabaté: “Sutiki, la nuit est à nous”.

Started in Bamako, Mali, in 2004, Fatoumata Diabaté birthed this project out of an idea to capture how young African women express themselves through their choices of contemporary clothing. Diabaté aims to continue this project across several cities both in Africa and around the world.

Born in 1980 in Bamako, Mali, Fatoumata Diabaté received her initial experience at the Promo Femmes audio visual training centre before joining the Photography Training Centre (Centre de formation en photographie – CFP) in Bamako between 2002 and 2004. She continued her education with a one month internship at the vocational learning centre (Centre d enseignement professionnel) in Vevey, Switzerland and has participated in numerous workshops both in Mali and abroad.

She has participated in several group exhibitions (Bamako Encounters 2005, 2009 and 2011; Kornhaus Museum of Bern in Switzerland, etc.) and had several solo exhibitions (Festival of Visages francophones de Cahors, France; the Malians of Montreuil, outside the walls of the quai Branly museum, etc.)

She has reported for World Press Photo, Oxfam, Rolex. In December 2005, she received the Africa in creation prize of the French Association for Artistic Action (AFAA) for her work entitled Tuareg, in gestures and movements. In 2011 she was awarded the Blachère Foundation prize for her work entitled The Animal in Man; the prize was an atelier in Arles and an exhibition at the Blachère Foundation. She is currently developing an art project about soutiki youth (The night is ours).

Afronauts

La réalisatrice ghanéenne Frances Bodomo, revient sur le pari fou d'Edward Nkoloso d'envoyer une jeune femme de 17 ans dans l'espace. Afronauts a été présenté en 2014 au Sundance Film Festival.

1962, sur fond de luttes pour l'Indépendance en Rhodésie du Nord, un homme, le professeur Edward Festus Makuka Nkoloso trouve un écho médiatique à son rêve fou de participer à la course à l'espace qui oppose les États-Unis à l'Union soviétique. Pour se faire il constitue une équipe qu'il entraine et c'est une jeune femme de 17 ans qui sera envoyée sur la lune. Le professeur n'obtiendra jamais les crédits demandés et la mission sera dissoute après que la je femme tombe enceinte. Entre utopie et dérision cette folle aventure dit surement quelques chose de l'histoire de l'Afrique qui entre, au tournant des années 1960, dans le tourbillon des Indépendances.

Et pour poursuivre ce reportage de la CCTV : http://english.cntv.cn/program/facesofafrica/20130909/100179.shtml
