History Research seminar, Anyaa Anim-Addo, (University of Leeds), Port Town Mobility: Caribbean Freedom and Museum Archives
Location: PS1.28 Physical Sciences
Chair: Liz Egan
This presentation reflects upon two museum-based collaborations in order to interrogate race, freedom and Caribbean mobility as they intersect with museum practice and decolonial perspectives on archival collections. I focus particularly on gendered histories of labour in Caribbean ports and the relationship between archipelagic and transatlantic experiences to consider routes towards exhibiting the region’s history.
