PhD: Nigerian early modernism and its epistemological foundations
UCL History of Art with Prof Tamar Garb

In 2015 Gassmann de Sousa had the opportunity to engage with the family archive of the Enwonwu Foundation in Lagos, Nigeria which has sparked an ongoing multi-disciplinary engagement with re-positioning West African art. In September 2017 she co-programmed the conference 鈥淧ositioning Nigerian Modernism鈥� at Tate Modern, with Kerryn Greenberg. She has published on the topic in 2018/19 a/o. Third Text, Tate magazine, for museum global K20 and presented new approaches to archival work on cultures, which are perceived to be on the periphery of Eurocentric studies in Iwalewahaus, University of Bayreuth 2018 and Speculative Forensics UCLA 2020. Her approach is questioning and reaching beyond post-colonialism and decolonisation. She is currently part of MAM (Multiplying Artistic Mobilities), a networking project founded in 2018 on itinerant Afro-Germanic art exchanges involving a/o. the Universities of Zurich, Vienna, Abomey-Calavi and Lagos, Nigeria.听
