Education — Symposium.
Hilversum, Netherlands.
January 24-25, 2020.
“Archives, assumed to be containers of memory, are vested with a particular power to constitute and define who is and who is not included in (his)stories. We explore what ‘decolonizing’ the archive—within and beyond the walls of established institutions—could offer for the production of new bodies of knowledge.”
Organized by the KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies & the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision, Inward Outward will investigate the status of moving image and sound archives worldwide as they intertwine with questions of coloniality, identity and race. Registration for the symposium opens at the end of October and is free of charge.
