The Chimurenga Chronic: news from the past
"The Chimurenga Magazine", a Pan-African art and culture platform based in Cape Town, South Africa, presents the Chimurenga Chronic: a monographic issue published on 18th October 2011, backdated 18th May 2008. It’s not a mistake, it’s a low-tech time machine, which uses print, one of the oldest means of communication still in use, to release a press report on the week of 18-24 May 2008, during which South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria were the scene of conflicts and xenophobic violence against migrants from neighbouring countries.
