The Afro-Argentine Diaspora oral history project is designed to uncover the history of the Afro-Argentine diaspora community in Argentina and NYC. A common narrative promoted within Argentina and globally is that there are no Black people in Argentina. This narrative of erasure around the African roots of many elements of Argentine culture, including cuisine, music, dance, language, and lineage was historically reinforced through the education system, media, and official public history institutions. The Afro-Argentine Diaspora oral history project is led by Tatiana Bryant, Director of Teaching, Learning, and Research Services at Barnard College and Julia Cohen Ribeiro, an Argentine and Brazilian Afro-descendant Jewish Queer independent historian and filmmaker based in Buenos Aires. The Afro-Argentine Diaspora oral history project team is dedicated to documenting this vital history. If you’d like to contribute or have questions, etc, contact tbryant@barnard.edu.
