Hambo buza unyoko: on future Real conditionals

Drawing from the photographic archives that belonged to my mother Lizzie Maduna (née Moloi), my late grandmother Elizabeth Masesi Moloi (née Dlamini), my late great aunt, Goguse Letta Ntshangase (née Moloi), I re-envision how the women in my family performed futurity. Although these women lived through colonial and apartheid oppression, these photographic archives show how they created liberatory worlds despite the violence they lived through. My creative work surfaces these archives as a matriarchive, which I argue were created in resistance to the oppressive and dehumanising conditions as a performance of future real conditionals.
