Archiving Sites as Resistance and Reimagination
@ Chicago Artist Coalition
2130 W Fulton St, Unit B Chicago, IL 60612
Opening Saturday, October 5th, from 6PM - 8PM
In memory studies, the term “mnemoscape” is often used to refer to multifaceted experiences in relation to global memory regimes and politics. Artists, scholars, and activists have used archiving and documentation as creative intervention and solidarity for alter-narratives of remembrance and redress. In this experimental talk and workshop, we will explore how urban landscapes may be shaped, memorialized, and altered depending on the sociopolitical climate, how the built environments may affect the connected communities, and what our roles may be as part of the communities. This event will be hybrid, and automated captioning may be supported.
