A living record of Black × Brown life.
Not everything fits cleanly here.
This archive brings together oral histories, scholarship, archival documents and lived accounts of Black and South Asian life across Africa and the diaspora.
It traces how those lives meet—through memory, proximity, tension, and relation.
Built through nodes, not timelines.
South Africa
Intimacy, history, and the conditions of proximity
Lives in South Africa were made to exist alongside one another—
through dispossession, indenture, and apartheid.
What followed was not solidarity alone.
East Africa
Migration, memory and the making of home
Lives in East Africa were connected through movement — across oceans, railways, borders and generations.
What followed was not belonging alone.
