Black Archives Sweden: Guided tours
Three unique guided tours in relation to Josèfa Ntjam - Futuristic Ancestry: Warping Matter and Space-time(s)
During the weekend of February 28 - March 2, Black Archives Sweden activates Josèfa Ntjam's exhibition Futuristic Ancestry: Warping Matter and Space-time(s).
In dialog with Ntjam's visionary world, where time and space collapse and are recreated, questions are raised about history: Who writes it, how is it written and for whom? What do the stories that are rarely heard sound like? What hidden frequencies can reveal new layers of history, memory and future?
Through three guided tours from different perspectives, Black Archives Sweden explores how we can write history on our own terms, find resistance in the everyday and imagine futures beyond the expected.
