This thesis tells a story of an European born-person from African descent, me. I'm reflecting on the urgency of healing, dwelling, memorising and forgetting, concerning postcolonial thinking and self-government. I feel disconnected from the country my grandparents come from because I wasn't born there plus I don't speak the language. How do I, born in Europe coming from African diaspora, deal with this process in the form of music? Is it even up to me to as a person of colour to find ways to improve postcolonial thinking? Iām researching artists that experiment with sound and visuals in order to create new narratives within post-colonialism. By analysing musical lyrics and looking at visuals, I could relate it to my knowledge in contemporary music. Perhaps developing a clearer understanding of the country and the people I originally come from. Coming from a creative background moving more and more towards my musical needs, I question if music can be a greater part in the way we use the archive as we know it now as a tool for self-knowledge.
