Conference – Conjunctions of Archives and Public Spheres: Embodied Histories, Memory and Multi-Media Archives in and from Africa

Multi-media archives have led to innovative curatorial and scholarly work, involving collaboration among curators, scholars, and artists. These initiatives explore new approaches and aesthetics, transcending disciplinary boundaries.

They generate various interventions, not limited to their countries of origin, and emphasize the production of relational knowledge. Importantly, they raise questions about audiences' engagement with archives, collections, histories, and narratives, including issues of restitution and repatriation. The conference in Basel is organized as a hybrid event, aiming to facilitate conversations among archivists, curators, scholars, artists, and a broader academic audience.

Organised by the Basler Afrika Bibliographien, ZASB and the Swiss Society for African Studies
