Black culture is dispersed throughout the modern world and is consistently co-opted, often without an inclination or reference to its origins. In recent history there has been global pressure for former western colonial states to return artifacts and other material culture to museums and communities throughout the African continent. The exhibition Dispersive Archives features the work of artist Lawrence Burney, scholar Joy Davis, and archivist Jessica Douglas. All three people work with archives in multiple visual and audible mediums to express intangible artifacts of their past.
