Decolonisation of Knowledge Production in Comparative Perspective (South Africa and Brazil): Dialogical Archives Seminar Series

Community and research members of the San & Khoi Centre benefitted from participating in the BRICS NIHSS funded Dialogical Archives Seminar Series. The primary project researchers were June Bam-Hutchison and Danilo Streck. Participation was open to post-graduate students and community activists from Brazil and South Africa. An international lineup of global south scholars contributed to the programme by sharing how their work contributes to the decolonisation of knowledge. The outcome of the seminar series was to develop a conceptualisation of "dialogical archives" as informed by the work of among others Paulo Freire. The seminar series is credited for informing the dialogical nature of the curatorial narrative of this archive and its capacity to develop inclusivity of diversity.
