Our Mission

Afrosoul Centre for Memory and Transformation (ACMT) and Afrosoul Productions, facilitate collective reflection, steward historical memory and activate public dialogue and learning through research, creative practice and public scholarship.

Your Heading


We utilise memory as a medium to better understand the past, navigate the present and to shed light as we imagine more just futures. Our methodology is based on these 3 principles:  


Intellectual Depth

Our work is rigorously grounded in research, ensuring that the stories we tell are informed, meaningful, and resonate with authenticity and respect.
Collaborative Spirit

We believe in the power of collaboration, working alongside communities or individuals to capture and share their narratives in a way that honors their experiences and histories.
Ethical Engagement

We operate with a commitment to ethical practices, ensuring that our engagement with partners is respectful, transparent, and beneficial.

Selected Projects

Coming Soon: The Benny Gool Archive

As part of our commitment to memory as a catalyst for transformation, ACMT is embarking on a journey to explore the archive of acclaimed South African photojournalist Benny Gool. We see archives as living resources that invite new questions, perspectives and conversations. Through this project, we hope to activate Gool's extraordinary body of work in ways that enrich public memory and inspire fresh ways of seeing our shared history.

Defying gravity 
Defying Gravity: The Johaar Mosaval Story is a documentary about the celebrated dancer who rose from District Six to the top of the British Royal Ballet. At 90 years he was still eloquent and could  tell his own story. The documentary received Honorable Mention at the New York Independent Film Festival.  Defying Gravity Trailer
In Psotproduction:  Icons of Khoe History

Afrosoul Productions is completing a series of five short films to accompany a museum exhibition, introducing remarkable historical figures whose leadership and resilience shaped how San and Khoe communities navigated the violence of colonialism. The project also marked our first integration of AI-generated imagery, used thoughtfully to move beyond colonial depictions and imagine more dignified and historically grounded visual representations.
