About this Event
Basler Afrika Bibliographien “Close Listening & Close Looking”
Artists and African Archives at BAB
The Basler Afrika Bibliographien (BAB) is a resource and archives centre that houses multiple audiovisual heritage collections from southern Africa.
Our HeritageConcept tour will explore the archives and the work by performance and visual artists who have engaged intensely with these deeply flawed colonial archives.
The sessions is comprised of audio, photographic and visual art presentations on the various ways that artists have engaged with the archive material and histories.
The presentation includes documented works by Hage Mungendje, Tuli Mekondjo and Nashilongweshipwe Mushaandja. By listening and taking a closer look, their work reconfigures and re-assembles African colonial histories.
