The multi-disciplinary art and culture project “People’s Stories- Past and Present: Bridging the silenced and liminal spaces of African Imaginary”, invites archive researchers, artists and filmmakers to come together to interpret, rethink and re_appropriate the archive in two editions: Senegal (2022) and Morocco (2023).
Conceived within the framework of this project, this talk addresses the following questions in light of each of the speakers’ practices: How do we appropriate our own history? How do we integrate the colonial period in our histories the same way we have done with language? In what ways can we insert the missing frame? What gives the black and white image its hierarchical power? Why and for whom are these fragments sacred? How do we make do with what we have?
