Adiva Lawrence is a Heritage Research PhD candidate at the University of Hull (Wilbeforce Institute for the Study of Slavery and Emancipation). I work on processes of memorialisation of slavery from a transnational perspective, with a focus on museums and contemporary art networks. My interests include: anthropological approaches to art, archive theory, the history of slavery. I wrote my MA dissertation on the treatment of archives in the 3rd Bahia Biennial in Salvador, Brazil.
I will conduct fieldwork in Amsterdam in April and May 2019, and in Guadeloupe in June 2019 to collect data for my thesis.
