Biographie

Larissa Tiki Mbassi is an exhibition curator based in Zurich and a doctoral researcher affiliated with the Departments of History and Art History at the Universities of Fribourg and Vienna. Her dissertation, titled "Black Public Space? Historical Approaches to Monuments and Colonial Symbols in Neuchâtel," explores the connections between colonial amnesia, colonial monuments, and Afro-diasporic activism in Neuchâtel (CH).

As part of the research project "Neuchâtel face à la colonisation: circulations, intrications et mémoire," Larissa aims to understand the memorial conditions created by amnesia and how these conditions shape demands for decolonizing public spaces.

Her work combines historical analysis and curatorial approaches, contributing to discussions on memory politics in Switzerland. She is particularly interested in critical race theory and Black Studies.
