The Uses of Memory
Teaching at the End of Times presents a workshop led by Kimi Hanauer and Bilphena Decontee Yahwon
In this workshop, we will explore memory from an anti-colonial perspective, challenging conventional notions of linear narratives and manufactured recollections. Memory, as we commonly understand it, often adheres to a sense of completeness and order imposed by dominant narratives, but this workshop aims to disrupt that paradigm. Through a partnership between Archive Liberia and the Center for Liberatory Practice & Poetry, project stewards Bilphena Decontee Yahwon and Kimi Hanauer will exemplify new approaches shaped by our communities, disentangling ourselves from dominant institutions. By embracing the frustrations, inconsistencies, and gaps in our memories, we will begin the process of building personal memory archives as a foundation through which our political frameworks may emerge.
Water and snacks will be provided during the event and food will be served towards the end of the workshop.
