A Living Archive of Diasporic Memory
Tickets available for desktop viewers. Touchscreen Device box office opens shortly.
A Living Archive of Diasporic Memory traces the lives and legacies of thinkers, artists, and ancestors who shaped and were shaped by the Négritude movement, examining how their ideas moved across language, geography, and time.
Grounded in archival and field research, the project explores how systems of record-keeping, translation, and representation have contributed to both the preservation and erasure of diasporic memory. Rather than reproducing the form of a traditional archive, it approaches design as a method of remembering—one that makes space for multiplicity, care, and interpretation.
Each image, sound, and text operates as both evidence and encounter, reflecting the labor, context, and endurance embedded within diasporic histories. Over time, the work has shifted from recovery to maintenance—focusing less on what has been lost and more on what continues to endure through fragments, traces, and repetition.
Ultimately, the archive proposes continuity as an alternative to preservation, framing remembrance not as a static act but as an ongoing process of engagement with histories that remain alive.
