Job Description
The National Transitional Justice Working Group (NTJWG) is a platform established to provide the interface between transitional justice stakeholders and the official transitional justice processes in Zimbabwe. Memorialisation is a tenet of transitional justice and a cultural depiction of the past. Memory-related initiatives can serve as a platform to transform hegemonic discourses where past experiences come from rather than being limited. Memorialisation supports the identification of current legacies with past constraints and works as a precondition for social acceptance and future processes of forgiveness and reconciliation.
Street art is a symbolic tool for historical knowledge. Whereas the building of public monuments is important, unofficial projects may serve an equally important role. An arts-driven approach to drive memorialisation in Zimbabwe may be an effective strategy to facilitate and reimagine reconciliation in our country. Street art may be a tool to educate the public and ignite social dialogue about the past.
