I demonstrated the importance of black British visual culture with an emphasis on memory, race and identity by excavating and analysing the productions of Ceddo, Black Audio Film Collective, and Sannkofa and their contribution to black British media. Taking an innovative interdisciplinary approach, their legacies were traced across cultural studies, memory studies, film studies, and postcolonial studies.

• I Accomplished an in-depth analysis and excavation of all the works by the three collectives–a pioneering study.
• I Retrieved Ceddo’s works (four had never been explored)–first-extended inquire on Ceddo.
• I conducted archival research, produced a coherent record of the scattered archival information, and established links with British institutions and archives (British Film Institute, InIva, London Metropolitan Archive, LUX, The June Givanni Pan-African Archive, Central Saint Martins, Tate Britain, George Padmore Institute, Black Cultural Archives and Channel 4).
• I interviewed Imruh Bakari Caesar (Ceddo’s filmmaker).
• I reshaped literature of the Workshop Years, the historical presence of Black Britons in Britain, and Black British media under Thatcherism.
• I pioneered analyses using a theoretical framework intersecting cultural studies, memory studies, film studies, and postcolonial theory.
• I enlarged the field of Black British media studies.
• I created concepts such as “Britishtalgia” “phonoptic history” or “Afroneric creation” Strengthened these workshops contribution to configuring cultural memory.
• I developed a framework to analyse the forgotten legacies of overlooked media groups.
