This contribution presents reflections and creative research outputs from the Student Research Group “Listening for Black Feminist Interventions”.  The project engages with sounds, images, texts, and movements of artists-activists positioned as Black Queer women, and their staging as historical seismographies and as potential pathways to imagine alternate futures. Conceived and facilitated by Dr. Layla Zami for the Berlin University Alliance and hosted at the Collaborative Research Center Intervening Arts (CRC 1512), the group deep-dived into Black feminist theory and practices related to archive-making in institutional and artistic settings. In a connective approach, they examined convergences and divergences between African-American and Afro-German communities, and between 20th and 21st century perspectives. The main research question was: how do Black Feminist interventions shape space in the classroom, on the page, on screen, or on stage?  The historical case studies focused on Audre Lorde (1934-1992) and May Ayim (1960-1996). Lorde was an African-American woman born in New York of Caribbean descent, and Ayim was a Berlin-based woman born in Hamburg of Ghanian-German descent. Both were poets and educators who appreciated each other's work, and both taught at Free University, where an archival collection exists for each one of them. In addition to engaging with their interconnected biographies and archival artifacts, students benefited from interacting with contemporary artist Oxana Chi, an Afro-German artist and curator, and her current yearlong project “Sichtbar Bleiben! Black Queer Women Archives Matter”.  Chi is currently teaching at FU Berlin (M.A. Tanzwissenschaft).  The interdisciplinary group included students from many disciplines including performance studies, sound studies, film studies, comparative literature, area studies, among others. Working in small groups, they compared and contrasted their experiences of the archive within and outside of academia, and juxtaposed these with the newly gained knowledge from Black Feminist epistemologies, asking questions such as “How do we experience archives through our own bodies?” Some of their inspiring multimedia productions will be shared during this presentation, alongside creative reflections on the research process.
