Reframing the Archive

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