︎︎ Remaking the Archive, Memory Bank
In Re-making the Archive: Contesting Institutional Power the convenors present a series of presentations by curators and researchers interested in the archive and cultural memory. Through an interrogation of institutional power, truth and fiction, the archive as a site for contesting meaning and de-colonisation, we aim to generate a dialogue on issues of recorded memory in these spaces.
