Reframing the Archive by Panya Banjoko
(Re)framing the Archive delves into Panya Banjoko's personal engagement with museums over two decades, and as the founder of Nottingham Black Archive. Attempting to give space to those voices that are otherwise submerged, and highlighting the disparity in underrepresentation of Black people as curators of their own history. The poems here can be seen as an intentional social and political act of activism providing a space for political thought, discussion, and action.
