\u201cFrom Archive to Repertoire: Remediating Afro-descendant Havana\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each generation of media artists broadly defined builds their practice through a repertoire: conversations across borders and generations deepen with each new work; processes of remediation, archive fevers, and \u201cpractices of the self\u201d develop nuance. But what happens when a big part of the repertoire is lost to you? When your archive is in a national building you can\u2019t access? When racialized economies are forbidding? When diasporas and displacements separate the person from their archive? Or when the media materiality has decayed to the point of no longer being because it was never cared for by the memory institutions of the nation? When IP, patrimony and other forms of control over the history of place and belonging create blockages against access and critical and\/or loving conversations with the past?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to some of these questions, I will draw a map of archival fragments that connect various media employed by Afro-descendant Cubans to facilitate their appearance in visual culture of the city of Havana: from 1960s films to 1990s and 2000s graffiti, rap and music videos, to \u201cindependent\u201d media by makers like Gloria Rolando, and artists like Juan Carlos Al\u00f3m. Rather than presenting an exhaustive \u201ccollection\u201d of Afro-descendent cultural production, I want to think about what kind of archive is possible given the material condition and disappearances, the fragmentary nature and secreted images, the fetishism of \u201cruin\u201d and \u201cdecay\u201d vs the micology and poverty of abandonment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
