Without Question ()

Overview

Without Question is a performance/installation film that interrogates the correlation between Namibia’s colonial history and the subjugation of black women. After the Ovaherero and Nama genocide, black women were forced to work as domestic workers in white homes, with little to no compensation. Today, domestic workers are still one of the most marginalized and underpaid members of the workforce despite being essential to creating and maintaining homes. This piece questions why the role of servitude has been expected and never questioned when it is performed by black women but seen as anomaly performed by white women.
