Born from extensive on-site research in Johannesburg’s mining landscapes, this installation claims Zama Zama—outlaws defined not by law or legitimacy but by refusal: refusal to disappear, to be erased, suspended hemp threads are—a natural, durable fiber historically used in Zama Zama mining tools for its strength and low cost. Beneath, soil gathered from Soweto’s mining dumps roots the work in histories of dispossession and resource plunder. Transparency becomes wound and witness; each layer is a threshold between visibility and silence. They stand as declarations against the politics of invisibility, mapping a decolonial cartography across labor, skin, and memory.
