SUMMARY:Transformative Memory and Listening (ALLab)
DESCRIPTION:Transformative Memory and Listening \nAlejandra Gaviria-Serna\, Luis C. Sotelo Castro and Pilar Riaño-Alcalá dialogue about memory\, listening and transformation in contexts of political violence and atrocity. Drawing on their current projects and work in Colombia and Canada\, they will discuss: \n1. In what ways can memory and listening become transformative (or not) of the legacies of violence and violent conflicts? \n2. What are the context(s) in which questions on memory\, listening and transformation should be considered? \n3. Under what conditions might memory and listening processes become transformative? \nBios \nAlejandra Gaviria-Serna works at the intersections of activism\, art\, scholarship\, and policy\, related to society’s rights to truth and memory and the Colombian conflict. Since 2006 she is a founder and member of the Colombian Movement H.I.J.O.S (Daughters and Sons for Identity and Justice against Forgetting and Silence) and MOVICE (Movement of Victims of State Crimes\, a movement that brings together 200 organizations in Colombia working for the rights of victims). She was a political advocacy advisor to the Colombian Network of Places of Memory. Until coming to Canada to study a Ph.D.\, she worked in the Colombian Truth Commission in the areas of Acknowledgement\, Recognition\, and Coexistence. Alejandra is currently a Ph.D. student in the Social Justice Institute at the University of British Columbia. \nLuis C. Sotelo Castro is Canada Research Chair in Oral History Performance at Concordia University. In his current research-creation\, he investigates modes of listening in the context of performances of memory. His creative work has been commissioned by civil society and academic organizations such as the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration. In 2018 he founded at Concordia the Acts of Listening Lab\, a hub for research-creation on the transformative power of listening to painful narratives\, with particular reference to testimonies by exiles from sites of conflict. His latest publications explore listening in the context of post-conflict performances of memory. For instance\, see his article ‘Not being able to speak is torture: performing listening to painful narratives’. International Journal of Transitional Justice\, Special Issue Creative Approaches to Transitional Justice: Contributions of Arts and Culture. (March\, 2020) \nPilar Riaño-Alcalá is a professor at the Social Justice Institute and co-lead of the Memory and Justice Research Stream and the Transformative Memory Network. Her research interests are on historical memory and the lived experience of violence in the lives and afterlives of mass violence\, the ethnography of living traces of memory and social repair; oralities and sound memory\, and social practice art. Pilar also is interested in exploring the politics of knowledge and epistemic justice through the use of emplaced and creative research methodologies that draw on other knowledges and centrally locate action and change in knowledge production. She is currently a Senior Fellow at The Maria Sibylla Merian Center for Advanced Latin American Studies\, CALAS. \nFree\, online: Register in advance for this meeting.

SUMMARY:Storytelling Soundwalks and AR Audio (ALLab)
DESCRIPTION:The workshop will cover the use of Augmented Reality technology\, focusing on sound and geotrack mediums to enhance oral storytelling as an interactive tool. The AR workshop will make use of the online app Echoes\, which is a friendly user software to produce audio walks in a site-specific context \nAmanda Gutiérrez (b. 1978\, Mexico City) explores the experience of home\, belonging\, and cultural identity by bringing into focus details of everyday practices whose ordinary status makes it particularly hard for us to notice their key role in defining who we are. Trained and graduated initially as a stage designer from The National School of Theater\, Gutiérrez uses a range of media such as sound art and performance art to investigate how these conditions of everyday life set the stage for our experiences and in doing so shape our individual and collective identities. Gutiérrez has held numerous art residencies at FACT\, Liverpool in the UK\, ZKM in Germany\, TAV in Taiwan\, Bolit Art Center in Spain\, and her work has been exhibited internationally in venues such as The Liverpool Biennale in 2012\, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. A recipient of a grant from the National System of Art Creators\, in Mexico\, Gutiérrez recently was the recipient of residencies at the New York Camera Club\, Harvestworks\, and MISE-EN_PLACE Bushwick. \nFree\, online \nIn order to accommodate social distancing\, all of COHDS/ALLab events will be held online. \nRegister in advance for this meeting \nPlease note that this event will be recorded.
