The 2018 ICMEMO conference theme is “Memory, Art, and Identity.” In this conference we will examine the influence of memorial museums in shaping personal and collective memory; the intergenerational transmission of memory and how artists reflect different zeitgeists and express them visually.
Colleagues are, therefore, asked to answer one of the following questions in their Pecha Kucha presentation:
Taking into account the relevance of remembering the past and what influence memorialization can have on the way a society moves forward from trauma and loss, we wonder:
WHAT is the role of the artistic language on memorialization, democratization, and justice?
How does your institution incorporate art to help shape collective memory of the past? Could you elaborate examples of how your museum /memorial leverage art, art production, and art collections to assist in healing our society from public crimes?
Can art HELP transform tacit knowledge of a public crime (hidden knowledge known only to an individual) to explicit knowledge (knowledge that is articulated and becomes embedded in the fabric of cultural memory)? In particular, how can art and artists revolutionize the way in which personal stories become a part of public histories?
