Create Memories
Study day
When the past is a contested issue, when the sources for approaching it are fragmented, buried or even destroyed, when memories struggle to emerge by breaking multiple silences, how can we document events and their erasure? How can we counter official narratives and their political stranglehold? What traces can be mobilized and linked to create a narrative?
Focusing on the bridges between art and science, as well as the dynamics of circulation and use that they engender, this study day is concerned with those practices and poetics of the trace that stand at a distance from governmental practices or those recognized by official power. In so doing, it examines the logics, spaces of production and dissemination, and reappropriations that contribute to thinking about the archive in terms of its documentary and political potential.
