Black Europe: Fallon Mayanja

This Event Will Not Be Streamed.

Black Narratives Composing Alternatives

How can the Black Diaspora create and share their own narratives? How can the past be imagined and the future be remembered? Sound and performance artist Fallon Mayanja’s work seeks an artistic practice that resists racialized representational logic, blending video, poetry, music, and performance to create poetic narratives of Black histories, experiences, culture, and anti-racism. In the endless archives of the Internet, Fallon collects activist and political speeches, song, film clips, and video snippets and she weaves them into new narratives and poetics of Black presence in Europe. In the multiplicity and interstices between artistic and media expressions, spaces emerge that in their processuality represent subaltern forms of knowledge and strategies of social transformation.
