Mykaell Riley recently curated Beyond the Bassline, 500 Years of Black British Music at the British Library/ National Sound Archive, the first national exhibition in the UK on the long history of Black British music. His experience during the research for the show confirmed that history is curated by the victors. With a large number of African archives located mostly in the basements of Western museums and the current US administration focused on rewriting history, Riley asks: Who owns our story? Can we depend on the advancement of AI to promote the cultural contribution of Black music? As the so-called AI revolution approaches, so too does the need to reclaim cultural memory from this twenty-first century colonizing force.
