Archiving History and Memory

“Archiving History and Memory: 25 Years of the JOMBA! Contemporary Dance Experience”

In celebrating the 25th anniversary of JOMBA! and with support from BASA and IFAS,  the CCA is proud to offer an important book tracing the indomitable legacy of JOMBA!  In this 25th anniversary book, Archiving History and Memory, emphasis has been placed on creating a book that offers a poetic user-friendly archive of the 25 years of JOMBA!’s history and legacy. This is especially significant in remembering African creative histories in a time when forgotten Southern-based archives are being politicised in decolonial frameworks. This book is offered as an archival project that holds an activist agenda and fights for carefully and methodically curated creative African histories to be remembered and honoured.
