In The Wake Of Our Archives: On Transmission and Inherited Memories —
Nigra Iuventa: Networks of the Black Atlantic: Heritage, Knowledge and Solidarity Symposium
Exhibition open from November 15 to December 6, 2025.
Opening Reception on Tuesday, November 18, 2025, starting at 7:15 PM.
In The Wake Of Our Archives: On Transmission and Inherited Memories is an exhibition that delves into the intimacy and affective nature of family archives and oral accounts. It poses the question, “How do we relate to and embody inherited memories?”
Taking cues from Stuart Hall’s reflections on the Living Archive, the term archive here is approached not only as evidence or recount of the past, but also as a testimony to the voids in time and history. It is approached as a holistic and dynamic body that offers, in its incompleteness, the possibility to inhabit and continuously reassess the past, in search of that which was omitted. In this vein, the exhibition brings together Ethel-Ruth Tawe and Mallory Lowe Mpoka, two artists whose practices are deeply rooted within intergenerational transmission and archival custodianship.
Exhibition curated by Diane Gistal (Nigra Iuventa) and Billy Fowo (Savvy Contemporary). The exhibition is presented in two iterations at articule (November 2025) and the Alliance Française (January 2026) within the framework of the RAN symposium

Statement In Solidarity : articule
The articule team recently had a discussion about the active involvement of its center in terms of engagement in social justice. As a center that has a mandate to be constantly engaged, we want to share the various injustices affecting the multiple communities that make up our ecosystem. With this in mind, we have decided to create a living document where everyone can share links of support and action.
