Gabby Omoni Hartemann (they/them) is Afro Guianese, Omo Òrìs̩à in the Ilê Axé Iyaba Omi community (Brazil), and a transgender Ph.D. student in anthropology and archaeology at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (Brazil). Their approach to archaeology is defined by African and Afrodiasporic ontologies and the anti-colonial commitment to invoke the many silenced stories of their homeland Guiana, a contemporary French colony situated in the Amazon. Their dissertation project deals with past and present relations between the land and Afro Amazonian communities in the Guianas. They are currently a co-director of “Archéo La Caroline: Lavi Nou Gangan,” an ethnographic and archaeological project based in Guiana that centers on a 19th-century site of African enslavement and its relationship with Indigenous and Afrodiasporic communities.
