What is the role of cultural archives in creating and sustaining connections between diasporic communities? Through an analysis of an audiovisual archive that has sought to bring together representations of and by African, Caribbean and Asian people, this article discusses the relationship between diasporic film, knowledge production and feminist solidarity. Focusing on a self-curated, UK-based archive, the June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive, we explore the potentiality of archives for carving out spaces of diasporic connectivity and resistance. This archive assembles the holdings of pan-African films and film-related materials, built over several decades by June Givanni, a Guyanese-born London-based film curator. Givanni’s archive embodies her long relationship with the intersecting worlds of African and Asian diasporic cinema, which hold deep connections to Black British heritage through global networks spanning across empire. In the making of this cultural analysis, we employ a co-produced, decolonial methodological approach by designing and producing the article in collaboration with Givanni over a two-year period. We aim to foreground the role of feminist labour (academic and practitioner) as agents of change who are reclaiming stories, voices and memory-making. The wider backdrop to this co-produced analysis is the ongoing resilience of a cultural amnesia that has pervaded the Black British experience and the current fragility of Black arts and cultural spaces in the UK. Our question is how might archives help us map the connections between racialised ideas of belonging, memory politics and the reconfiguration of colonial power whilst also operating as a site of feminist connectivity?

June Givanni 的泛非电影档案：一个散居海外的女权主义住宅空间

文化档案在创建和维持侨民社区之间的联系方面的作用是什么？通过对试图汇集非洲、加勒比和亚洲人民代表的视听档案的分析，本文讨论了海外电影、知识生产和女权主义团结之间的关系。专注于自我策划的英国档案馆，June Givanni Pan-African Cinema Archive，我们探索档案馆在开辟离散连接和抵抗空间方面的潜力。该档案馆汇集了泛非电影和电影相关材料的馆藏，由出生于圭亚那的伦敦电影策展人琼·吉瓦尼 (June Givanni) 历经数十年建造而成。Givanni 的档案体现了她与非洲和亚洲侨民电影的交叉世界的长期关系，它们通过跨越帝国的全球网络与英国黑人遗产有着深厚的联系。在进行这种文化分析时，我们通过与 Givanni 合作设计和制作这篇文章，采用了一种共同制作的非殖民主义方法论方法，为期两年。我们的目标是突出女权主义劳动（学术和实践者）作为改变故事、声音和记忆的推动者的作用。这种共同制作的分析的更广泛背景是一种文化健忘症的持续恢复力，这种健忘症已经遍及英国黑人的经历以及英国黑人艺术和文化空间目前的脆弱性。我们的问题是档案如何帮助我们绘制种族归属观念之间的联系，
