Rizqah Dollie is a visual practitioner whose work spans filmmaking and interdisciplinary storytelling. She is the co-founder of The Dollie House, a collaborative platform oriented toward fostering community engagement and participatory narrative practices. Her creative output
operates at the nexus of social justice, environmental consciousness, and youth-centred storytelling, with a sustained emphasis on foregrounding the lived experiences of women in the Global South.
Drawing on a background in videography, photography, and mobile journalism, Dollie’s practice engages both grassroots initiatives and institutional contexts, including academic and cultural sectors. Her work is concerned with documenting narratives that remain underrepresented or absent within dominant archival frameworks. In particular, she attends to the nuanced and often overlooked histories of place, privileging everyday practices, vernacular traditions, and subtle socio-cultural transformations that inform collective memory and spatial belonging.
Through her interdisciplinary approach, Dollie positions storytelling as a critical methodology for facilitating reflection, dialogue, and intergenerational knowledge exchange. Her practice remains grounded in Cape Town, where she continues to interrogate the city’s layered
identities, emergent microhistories, and shifting cultural landscapes.
