What would it mean for us to reimagine the Archives – not as mechanisms for whiteness and control, but as sanctuaries for liberation and as generators of continuity? What if Archives were nesting places for revolutionary Black joy?
Building on her imagination practice, Archivist Melissa J. Nelson shares the development of a radical grassroots Black activist archive for Wildseed Centre for Art + Activism as grounds for possibilities. Melissa invites us to expand our imagination beyond the confines of colonial imaginaries to build reparative archives of multiplicity. Black archives have the potential to create sacred space for holding, re-witnessing, and remembering Black life. These spaces can open gateways for visioning Black futurities.
