Afulodidim is Zambian and Brice is French. Through both their combined and parallel art practices, they ask each other and the audience: “How do you think? How do you make stuff? How do you create an allegory? How do you welcome into your world? What can I do to enter your world?”
Afulodidim Nikefolosi is the artist pseudonym of a Zambian postcolonial-decolonial Afro-feminist scholar who completed a PhD at the University of Huddersfield Business School (UK) in 2025. Her research is concerned with attitudes and everyday experiences that relate to race, academic identity and the postcolonial condition, which she has discussed at institutions that included the University of St. Gallen (CH), Stellenbosch University (SA), the University of Bayreuth (D) and the University of Birmingham (UK). She is interested in further investigating these topics through artistic practices that use collaboration as a method.
Afulodidim was born and raised in Zambia and educated in Australia and the UK. Since 2020 and in parallel of her academic work, she has published short fictions in English in the British magazine The Mass, in French in the French magazine Mon Lapin Quotidien (with Brice Catherin), has collaborated on art videos with the Noisebringers exhibited in the USA and Switzerland, and has composed an orchestra piece for the Glasgow Improvisers Orchestra (UK). Most of these works explore the concept of postcolonial discomfort, which she is now experiencing in Cork, Ireland since January 2025, after spending two years in Switzerland.
Brice Catherin is a French artist and doctor in music composition (University of Hull, UK). He was originally trained as a classical cellist (HEMU, Lausanne, 2004) and composer (HEM, Geneva, 2006), which he survived by focusing on experimental music, free improvisation, and putting many musicians from different backgrounds together to make noise. He now has 19 years of experience as an independent musician (improvisation and experimental music), intermedia artist, performance artist, visual artist and writer, and eight years of experience as an art researcher.
His transversal and international approach to art practices has led him to collaborate with artists from all over the world. He also develops art projects and art-based Participatory Action Research (PAR) projects across disciplines with non-artists from the Global Majority as well as under-represented and/or minoritised populations in Europe and Southern Africa.
He is presently the co-artistic director of the Association de Malfaiteurs with Jonathan O’Hear (Geneva, Switzerland), a postdoctoral researcher at the University College Cork (Ireland), and an affiliate artist of the UNESCO Chair in Glasgow (UK).
