Barby Asante is a London-based artist, curator, educator and occasional DJ. Her work is concerned with the politics of place, space, identity and the histories and legacies of colonialism, and is collaborative, performative and dialogic. She has created works that consider migration, safe spaces to gather in cities antagonistic to one’s presence, and how one maps the self as a contributor to narratives of society, culture and politics. Her artistic practice explores the archival, makes propositions, collects and maps stories and contributions of people of colour using storytelling, collective actions and ritual to excavate, unearth and interrogate given narratives.
