ABOUT
House of African Feminisms
What it Is
An African feminist platform for cultural exchange and learning. A reserve for African feminist theories and an educational and social resources of feminist subject matter.
What we provide
Content on various topics including women's* rights, feminist traditions, corporeality, health and reproductive politics in different formats such as podcasts, articles, art pieces and music.
What we believe
That all feminists should have a voice and that feminism is not only a conscious intellectual and activist movement, but a daily lived experience for women* even those who don’t refer to themselves as “feminist”. That we need to tell the story of the everyday life of African women* of all generations.
Who is it for?
Feminist scholars, thinkers, the everyday African woman* and you.
The House of African Feminisms (HoAF) is a collaborative initiative by the Goethe-Institutes in Johannesburg, Kigali, and Lagos. It serves as a platform for feminist thought, cultural exchange, and community building across the African continent and its diaspora.
HoAF shines a light on the work of African feminist scholars, artists, and thinkers, offering resources that explore the richness and diversity of African feminist perspectives. Rooted in inclusivity, dialogue, and cultural connection, the platform supports engagement, learning, and solidarity across movements and generations.
African feminisms remain underrepresented globally, despite their significant contributions to social, political, cultural, and environmental change. HoAF responds to this gap by providing a space where feminist voices—whether activist, academic, or lived—can connect, collaborate, and grow.The platform is for everyone: from long-time feminist advocates to anyone curious about the daily, lived realities of women*, including queer and trans* people, whether or not they identify as “feminist.”
HoAF also leads on-the-ground projects including festivals, exhibitions, and the African Feminisms Project, which supports civil society organisations with practical tools, knowledge-sharing, and a physical presence across the continent.Together, these efforts create a dynamic “house” for learning, expression, and collective transformation.
Explore a wide range of podcasts, articles, music, art, and digital events, alongside links to other feminist resources and publications. Topics span women’s rights, feminist traditions, health and reproductive justice, body politics, and more*.
