Drawing from her book 'Colonial Legacies' Gabriella Nugent discusses the ways in which contemporary artists born or based in Congo, such as Sammy Baloji, Michèle Magema and Georges Senga, have deployed archival material to contest dominant narratives around the colonial and immediate post-independence past.
This interdisciplinary panel will include academics and artists, including Lesly Deschler Canossi and Zoraida Lopez-Diago (co-editors of this volume and co-founders of Women Picturing Revolution), along with additional guests.
