Black Archives Sweden

 Black Archives Sweden is a contemporary archive centered around the experiences and narratives of Afro-Swedes and Black people in Sweden. It is a project that approaches the archive as a space of invisibility and erasure, but also a place that holds room for other imaginations, realities, histories and conditions for the future. From a queerfeminist and diasporic perspective and through the thematic themes: locality, identities and activism, Black Archives Sweden will collect photographs, video-and sound collections, letters, texts, oral histories, ephemera and social media posts to construct new community archives. These archives will collect, document, present and activate Afro-Swedish and Black people in Sweden’s experiences, stories, and productions (cultural, social, political and creative), for principally other Afro-Swedes and Black people.
