Akosua Paries-Osei, founder of the Black ArtChives, is an award-winning artist-heritage practitioner who specialises in unlocking the hidden histories of medical and botanical resistance by African and Enslaved women during slavery and beyond. As a historian, Akosua explores natural history, fine art, museum collections, and colonial archives to document and visualise, through Video essays, the untold lives of African and enslaved women during the era of slavery and colonialism. The Black ArtChives was conceived to visualise this rich and diverse history through the critical lens of resistance and knowledge.
