It is 2026, and people still think Saidiya Hartman and Natalie Zemon Davis invented historical information in their works. I am by no means an expert on critical fabulation, but it is not a practice about making up historical information.

Racialised Motherhood #PhD candidate @idalvos.bsky.social has written another #blog post about her research trip to #Cuba. She discusses systematic racialization visible in the documents of the Cuban National Archive's miscellaneous collection. Read it here: racializedmotherhood.blog/2026/04/20/r...

Book twenty-five out of thirty-two with titles of the documents in Miscelanea. The book has a red fabric binding and the edge of a typewritten document can be seen protruding from the side. It rests on a tabletop made of dark varnished wood.

One sound that is very characteristic of Havana, is the shouts and whistles of street vendors. I love this installation by Megan Fawn Schlow about these "Street Hawkers", and I was very interested to learn about the connection between this Cuban tradition and the history of slavery

Last week, I went to #ABRE2025 with @silvaperez.bsky.social. We presented on the role of religion in discussions about free womb laws in the Netherlands, Spain and Brazil. I found the other presentations during the panel about women in the transatlantic world very interesting and inspiring!

We are here at the #ABRE2025 conference in Salamanca with the @rm-project.bsky.social. Yesterday we caught an amazing talk by Mateusz Czarnota on Conceição Evaristo’s idea of #escrevivência: writing born from lived experience of Afro-descendent women. Inspiring for our work on #RacializedMotherhood

Project PhD student @idalvos.bsky.social recently presented her research at the 9th Global Meeting of Slavery Past, Present and Future, which was held at the @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. She talked about the role of religion in Dutch and Spanish free womb discussions in the 1850s and 1870s.

Ida stands in front of her PowerPoint presentation, which is currently on a slide about Dutch bills in the East Indies. She is wearing a pink jacket and a white conference nametag, and she looks up at the slide while she talks.
