Walgahi: Conversations on Black Archiving
What is Black archiving?
Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Social Movements and Collective Memory
How do you ensure that the knowledge you are working to cultivate in your communities and movements is retained and passed on?
AfroGreek identity, podcasting, collective memory
In this conversation, Jackie Abhulimen speaks about her previous organising and activism work in relation to protecting the rights of second-generation children in Greece. She also reflects on the term Afrogreek and shares with us the new projects that she created as a curator and producer.
Archiving and Illustrations
How does illustrating and graphic design feed into practices of archiving? How is illustrating informed by archiving?
Drawing Black people, documenting your process and motivating yourself
In this conversation Courtney Brown (UK), Nadia Dalh (NL) and Lis Camelia (Curaçao) offer insights into their artistic practices and how keeping memories is weaved into them.
Archiving and the Internet
Black-led archives in the UK and Blackening Wikipedia
In this last podcast, Kelly Foster speaks about her practice regarding archiving and including Black perspectives on Wikipedia.
Body Movements and Documentation
How can body movements be documented collectively but also individually? What are the references that are used in this process? How do we deal with learned and painful movements, that essentially threaten our identities?
The intersections of voguing, ballet, Blackness and gender
Choreographer, dancer, director Black Pearl de Almeida Lima speaks about the artistic journey that has led her to join the voguing communities House of Solar and the Iconoc House of Saint Laurent.
Archiving Oromo Music
Why is it important to preserve, remember and archive Oromo music? And what are the difficulties that come up in this process?
Listen to the conversation
Dirbdil Assefa and Fayo Said speak and exchange about challenges and beauty of archiving Oromo music.
Coming soon.
Community Building and Archiving
How do you create a stable and healthy working environment? How do you ensure sustainable and equitable community building? How is community building in German-speaking countries different from and similar to work in other countries?
