During my master in African Studies at the HU Berlin, I focused on postcolonial theory and the Black diaspora and developed a taste for African and Black diasporic literature and other forms of cultural expression. I am interested in understanding different perspectives and how marginalized experiences challenge dominant narratives and interpretation. For my PhD I am researching how a museum opens to underrepresented groups, and how this changes the institution. I have conducted field work in Bristol and will also analyse the toppling of the Edward Colston statue, as a symbol of dominant heritage and its contestation, temporarily displayed in the museum.
