With over 30 years of experience, Annouchka de Andrade has worked in international cultural cooperation with a strong focus on audio-visuals, cultural heritage and production in France, Spain, Columbia, Bolivia, Venezuela, Peru, and Equator. She has provided technical assistance to Sarah Maldoror in the past 20 years. With her sister Henda Ducados, she has developed a project to preserve and share the work of their parents, Sarah Maldoror and Mário de Andrade (restoration of films, archiving of documents, correspondences, manuscripts and unknown screenplays etc.).
Amy Sall is a writer, independent researcher, and collector-archivist based in New York. She is the founding editor of SUNU: Journal of African Affairs, Critical Thought + Aesthetics, a pan-African, post-disciplinary platform exploring the artistic, cultural, and intellectual production of Africa and the diaspora across time and space. Amy holds a master's degree in human rights studies from Columbia University. As a Part-time Lecturer at The New School, New York, she conceived and taught two courses, “The African Gaze: Visual Culture of Postcolonial Africa and the Social Imagination” and “Third Cinema & the Counter Narratives.” Her private collection, The Sall Collection, is an assemblage of studio and other vernacular photography, printed matter, and ephemera with a pan-African focus. Amy's work and interests explore the theory and praxis of cultural sovereignty, cultural preservation, anti-/de-/post-coloniality, human rights, visual culture, and the archive.
The Broodthaers Society of America examines the work of Marcel Broodthaers within the political and cultural context of the United States. America was a great influence on Broodthaers, both directly through his experience of Pop Art and indirectly through his shared interest in the poetics of merchandise, publicity, and the conquest of space. Put another way, the Broodthaers Society provides a forum in which the United States might contemplate itself through the life and work of Marcel Broodthaers.
