︎︎ Objects, Materials and Spaces, Memory Bank 2021
Objects, Materials and Spaces will examine the potential for objects, materials and spaces to act as vessels, indexes, monuments or maps, with regards to memory. We encourage the submission of papers or practices that explore the capacity for material culture to embody or exude the past, however it may exist and persist.
