How are colonial and postcolonial print ephemera, media and literatures staged and displayed, put to use, consumed and repurposed\/revalued\/re-curated in museums and exhibition spaces today, beyond their simple documentary function\/status \u2013 and to what means \/ ends?\u00a0In this workshop\u00a0we would like to explore the practices, forms and uses of colonial\/postcolonial print from the Global South in the colonial exhibitions and world fairs of the turn of the 19th century, up to our postcolonial\/decolonial present, and explore how the \u00a0interaction of textual and visual registers are an integral part of exhibition-making and postcolonial print cultures.<\/p>\n

\n

In 1968, the most famous African singer in the world and the leader of the Black Power movement decided to settle in Guinea. From their installation in Conakry begins a whole new story \u2014\u00a0much less known and much less told than their American trajectories. As soon as they come out of the New York imperial radars, it’s as if they disappeared from official stories. However, Miriam Makeba and Stokely Carmichael spent several decades in Guinea and redoubled their activity. Both, one through song, the other through political action, put themselves at the service of S\u00e9kou Tour\u00e9, Kwame Nkrumah and the construction of concrete Pan-Africanism.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This performed, two-voice conference aims to make these two intensely engaged militant voices heard again. From Conakry to Algiers, Lagos, Tripoli, but also New York: it is a whole network of intellectual and artistic connections, in and from Africa, that we intend to revive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
