Read The Chimurenga Chronic

'Our reality refuses to be mapped only by GDP, scales, set squares and compasses; it also requires hands, feet and hearts. And memory. Memory is central. The new edition of theChronic, presenting new cartographies for Africa is now available.'

And listen to Brittle Paper when she writes:

'

But the truth is the New Yorker has nothing on the Cape Town-based magazine.Chimurenga Chronic is edgy and experimental in a way that the New Yorker could never be.'

And do also check out Nikolaj Cyon, an artist from Sweden who has worked with precolonial Africa as a theme in his art - a mind experiment, where he has made a map of what Africa could have looked like in the mid 19th century if Europe had never become a colonizing world power. Read more here.
