On the one hand, the most violent expressions of global capitalism can be seen in the acts of depriving the most marginalized populations of water, whether through corporate control or structural reforms imposed by international financial institutions on debt-ridden governments. [...]despite claims that the WWF is open to all, its registration fee of 450 euros is unaffordable to most ordinary citizens, especially those most adversely impacted by water shortages, pollution, and lack of access. The Blue Planet Project, Public Services International, Africans Rising, Engineering Without Borders Spain, African Ecofeminist Collective, African Water Commons Collective, Ecumenical Water Justice Network of the World Council of Churches, Corporate Accountability and Public Participation Africa, Platform for Community Partnerships of the Americas (PAPC), the Interamerican Water Justice Network (REDVIDA), and the European Water Movement. [...]we organized multiple decentralised meetings, webinars on regional water struggles and solidarities connecting communities of struggle and issues including feminist political economy and ecology, water privatization, water financialisation (water went onto the stock market in California in 2021), and water-related impacts of Covid. While there have been waves of regional water mobilization (and demobilization) across the continent, there was no readymade African coalition working on water justice issues when the World Water Council announced its 9th Forum in Dakar.

Author(s): Finley, Cheryl; Raiford, Leigh; Raphael-Hernandez, Heike | Abstract: For Bisi Silva (1962–2019) Abstract This essay surveys a number of contemporary artworks that address the recent migrations and perilous water crossings of African people to Europe, made by artists of the African diaspora. Paying specific attention to the deployment of photography, time-based media, and installation, we argue that artists like Isaac Julien, Alexis Peskine, Romuald Hazoume, and others disrupt the photojournalistic portrayals of African migrant–refugees crossing the Mediterranean in overloaded small rafts and makeshift boats circulated by the international media. While the UN and its High Commissioner for Refugees have tried for years to call international attention to the situation of these migrant–refugees in Libya’s camps and those camps’ catastrophic violations of human rights, it has been only recently that public attention and discourse have begun to recognize these crossings as a “crisis,” primarily because a growing number of African migrant–refugees have succeeded in reaching Fortress Europe via Spain or Italy. The artists of the African diaspora considered in this essay have attempted to intervene in these public debates by offering counternarratives to often sensational and dehumanizing depictions of specifically Black migrant–refugee lives. In focusing on these counternarratives, we demonstrate how artists connect this contemporary mass migration from African countries to a longer history of forced migrations over water in the African diaspora. Artists have returned continually to the “chronotrope of the ship,” following Paul Gilroy, and have drawn on this long memory as a means to convey the contemporary crisis, thus addressing the sorts of “colonial amnesia” that conveniently ignore any prior entanglements.
