Black Archives Sweden (BAS) is an archive and artistic project that centers Black presence,  memory, and cultural production in Sweden. Through exhibitions, public programs, and collaborations, BAS navigates questions of visibility, erasure, and historical narration—offering  counter-narratives and fugitive forms of remembering and imagining. Rooted in experimentation,  it explores alternative ways of gathering, making, and holding space, where archives are not just  repositories, but living practices of care, creation, and collective memory.  

As part of GIBCA 2025, BAS presents a two-part exhibition across both the Gothenburg  Museum of Art and the BAS space in Malmö. Anchored in the biennial’s theme—“a hand that  is all our hands combined”—the exhibition explores solidarity, resistance, and speculative  futures.

Featuring works by Kiluanji Kia Henda, Tiago Mena Abrantes, and Pamela Z, the exhibition critically engages with the illusions of labor, capitalism, and liberation—asking what becomes  possible when archives are treated as living, polyphonic spaces.
