Interdisciplinary artist Jasmine Tutum presents a performative lecture in regard to her research «Unmuting the archive». As a Jamaican Gabonese artist based in Freiburg, her autoethnographic approach explores (her)stories of colonial entanglement and intersecting diasporas across Gabon, Jamaica and Germany. Working with video installation, movement, voice and sound performance, her nonlinear narratives of resistance attempt to re-activate and create (future) memories.

The Performative Lecture takes place within the frame of the «(In)Audible Past Symposium» held from 20 to 22 March at the Seminar für Medienwissenschaften (SFM, University of Basel), in collaboration with the Swiss National Science Foundation (Berne), the Centre for African Studies (University of Basel) and the Basler Afrika Bibliographien. Details of the Symposium programme which includes also a concert and film screening are to be found here.
