The two levels of invisibility.

There are two levels of invisibility. First of all, there is the invisibility of the other through lack of representation. How many women, blacks and Orientals who exist and participate in the active life of our society, are represented and put forward in the public eye? Answering this first level of visibility, we also witness the exposure of equity issues, responsibilities and solutions. But there is also a second level of invisibility, which is not answered by mere physical representation. This second level is little discussed, but it may be the essential part of beginning to establish a notion of shared visibility.
This deeper notion, concerns the gaze of those who have been made invisible.
Because people can be made visible, while their perspective remains ignored.
Africa is an object of gaze, but does its own gaze count?
Who is asking Africans to come to their rescue, and help them solve their problems?
Do Africans not have any relevant advice to give to solve some of the world problems, such as between Russia and Europe or India, Australia, the U.S. and China? (These are only mentioned as any other non-African country.) For our part, the FJN believes that the greatest untapped resource of the African continent is its cultural richness and variety, and the exceptional human talents that this generates. Among these African talents is the ancestral transmission of wisdom, which is an indispensable tool to achieve real and lasting peace. Seen from the perspective of this African wisdom, much of the world’s modern populations are going through an adolescent crisis that requires the presence of those who have already entered the adult stage. But the imposed invisibility upon the African gaze, is a phenomenon that makes it possible to articulate things, not only as if this gaze did not count, but as if it did not exist at all. People who want to have an insight into the future must ask themselves questions such as these: How are the conflicts of the world seen by Africans? How does an African child understand the images of George Floyd? Are such things perceptible through the lens of mass media?How do Africans see the emergence of a united China, turning into a major world power,after only 20 years of economic growth? Africans understand how others look at them.But is their own view even considered?
