Marie-Hélène Tusiama Banimbadio – Ivoire Archives

Between the lines of yesterday's soap operas and forgotten archive footage, she is rewriting Ivorian memory from a female perspective. Independent researcher and founder of the project, Marie-Hélène Tusiama Banimbadio sifts through tapes and filmed footage to ask: what do television stories from Côte d'Ivoire tell us about femininity and its representations?

In this interview, she talks about her relationship with archives as living material and her commitment to bringing other stories to light.
