ABOUT
Zama Dube is a South African voice and sound artist currently pursuing a PhD in Cinema and Media Studies at the University of California Los Angeles where she also teaches undergraduate film studies. She earned her MA in African Literature at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa. Drawing from her experiential knowledge as a media practitioner in the South African broadcast industry, Zama’s research interests contribute to a legacy within Black visual cultures that have often been preoccupied with interrogating the politics of representation, notions of the spectacle and the possibility of a Black feminist gaze. Interweaving audio and visual worlds, Zama’s current research examines practices of visual dissent by Black women and queer cultural producers in the African diaspora.
As a broadcaster, Zama has hosted and produced primetime radio shows for some of South Africa’s leading commercial radio stations such as YFM, 947 and Talk Radio 702. She has also worked in television production as a researcher and script-writer for shows such as Future Leaders and Making Moves, both of which were on South African national broadcaster SABC 1. In her capacity as a voice-over artist, Zama has worked across multiple mediums, voicing major national and intercontinental radio, TV and web campaigns such as Shield, Rexona (UK), JET Clothing, OMO, MTN and a host of other major brands.
Upon the recommendation of the Institute of American Cultures and in recognition of her academic excellence, Zama has been awarded the Ralph Bunche predoctoral fellowship. This award is in addition to being selected as the inaugural fellow of the Marty Sklar Entertainment Innovation Fellowship where she will participate in major collaborative projects at REMAP that interweave the physical and digital worlds to share new kinds of stories, and engage with the legacy and future of themed entertainment. Past honors include The Teshome Gabriel Memorial Award, the Irma Polaski Award, the Mariame Kaba Graduate Fellowship in Black Feminist Research, and membership in the UCLA chapter of the Edward Alexander Bouchet Graduate Honor Society.
