SUMMARY:Memory\, Art\, and Violence: Listening to Difficult Stories
DESCRIPTION:with Manuela Ochoa\, Luana Sampaio\, and Patricia Branco Cornish.  \n\nConflict and dictatorship are challenging topics to discuss and engage new audiences. However\, scholars have tasked themselves with finding creative ways to revisit narratives of these difficult pasts to foster public awareness and prevent socio-political violence from happening in the future. Art has been a long-standing medium through which our society registers our lives\, from pre-historic cave paintings to contemporary cartoons\, films and exhibitions. \nOral history is ubiquitous in recounting stories of survivors’ experiences of traumatic pasts involving state violence\, civil conflicts and abuse of power around the world. Still\, merging oral history with different forms of art practices remains an underutilized approach to retelling the recent violent pasts in Latin America. A new wave of scholars are working to promote more engaging and immersive ways of showing the broader public complex narratives of people who experienced or survived dictatorships and armed conflicts. \nThis panel brings together three doctoral researchers who examine the interconnections between listening\, memory\, and art in Brazil and Colombia. Through three case studies\, researchers discuss how oral history methodology and art practices offer alternative ways to engage audiences with complex narratives about past socio-political violence. \nManuela Ochoa has developed Can You Hear the Trees Talking?\, an arts-based methodology for conducting dialogical interviews and actively listening to survivors\, collaborating with Comunidad\, a displaced human rights defender and musician. \nThrough the question “How can memory be filmed?”\, Luana Sampaio explores a series of Brazilian documentaries that depict the Civil-Military Dictatorship in Brazil\, which lasted from 1964 to 1985. The films focus on listening and filming the testimonies of survivors and their peers. By examining this creative work\, she uncovers how cinema can offer a new understanding of memory by engaging an artistic expression with the past\, present\, and future. \nPatricia Branco Cornish researches the experiences of women artists during Brazil’s military dictatorship (1964–1985)\, merging oral history and visual art within a decolonial framework. She uses the artworks as memory prompts so women artists can retell their past from daily struggles to groundbreaking creative practices despite censorship and normative gender roles. Patricia seeks to understand the pervasive and subtle ways dictatorship erases women’s stories\, and manipulates how we understand past state violence in the present. \nManuela Ochoa’s is an artist and PhD candidate in Humanities at Concordia University. In Colombia\, she was part of the team at the Museum of Memory\, where she explored the relationship between art and memory in violent contexts. Her research centers on how to listen—effectively and with care—to survivors of violence while collaborating on creative works based on their life stories. \nLuana Sampaio is a documentary filmmaker and a PhD student in Communication Studies at the Federal University of Ceará in Brazil. Her research and creative practice focus on exploring the relationship between memory and history in documentaries that use cinematic narrative tools to tell stories about the past. Luana has co-directed over five documentaries\, including short films\, feature films\, and series\, and is dedicated to discovering new ways to listen to and capture memories through cinema. She holds a Master’s degree in Communication Studies from the Federal University of Ceará (UFC) and a Graduate Certificate in Creative Arts from Deakin University.  \nPatricia Branco Cornish is a PhD candidate in the Communications Department at Concordia University. Her research focuses on women artists living under the Brazilian dictatorship (1964-85) and their contributions to the country’s avant-garde art scene of the 1960s–70s. In Brazil\, Patricia worked as an art curator and gallery owner. She earned her MA in Art History from the University of São Paulo\, where she investigated how women artists carved out space for themselves in the local avant-garde movement despite censorship and conservative gender norms. \nATTEND THIS EVENT \nJoin us on Zoom.  \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:Looking at the World from Inside Mosques: Questioning Prejudice Through Art Photography
DESCRIPTION:with Marwan Bassiouni. Hosted by Chedly Belkhodja (Concordia) and Paul May (UQAM) \nIslam comes in all shapes and colours. It is now Western and a part of the national identity and landscape of many countries. Since January 2018\, Marwan Bassiouni has visited mosques in various countries in order to document their presence in the landscape from the inside. He was led into the hearts of cities\, suburbs\, villages\, industrial zones and remote areas\, alongside rivers\, lakes and mountains. Mosques were able to become a part of the Western landscape by adapting to the shapes and colors of the local architecture – by building minarets and prayer rooms out of bricks\, wood and various other materials. Through this journey\, Marwan Bassiouni not only witnessed the diversity of locations in which Muslims are living today\, but also the diversity within the Muslim community itself. \nUnfortunately\, Muslims are the most targeted minority when it comes to hate crimes\, and recent terrorist attacks have contributed to an increase in islamophobia\, racism and xenophobia towards Muslims. Many Western medias are biased in their representation of Muslim peoples and contribute towards negative and unwelcoming sentiments towards this multi-ethnic and multi-cultural minority demography. The mosques contained in this project were therefore left unidentified to respect the wishes of mosque representatives who feared for their safety. All photographs in this series document views of actual mosques within their original surroundings. \nMarwan Bassioni’s images\, often presented large-scale\, lie at the intersection of documentary practice\, fine art\, and intercultural mediation. In his photographs\, he explores the poetics and aesthetics of documentary photography while focusing on the Western landscape and themes related to identity\, spirituality\, culture\, and the politics of representation. \nHis work is held in private and public art collections such as Kunsthaus Zürich\, Kunstmusem Bern\, Kunstmusem Den Haag\, The Nederlands Fotomuseum\, and many other arts centres. Marwan Bassioni is the recipient of the W. Eugene Smith Student Grant\, the Harry Pennings Prize\, the Prix Circulation(s)-Fujufilm and several other awards and nominations. His book New Dutch Views was a finalist for the Aperture First Book Award at Paris Photo. \nChedly Belkhodja is Professor and former Principal of the School of Community and Public Affairs at Concordia University. He holds a BA (1988) in Political Science from l’Université de Moncton and an MSc (1990) in Political Science from l’Université de Montréal. He completed his Diplôme d’études approfondies (1991) and his PhD (1996) in Political Science at l’Université de Montesquieu (Bordeaux\, France). His research focuses on immigration policies and mobility of migrants in the case of less common destinations. He is also interested in the processes of integration and inclusion. \nPaul May is a professor in the Department of Political Science at the Université du Québec à Montreal. He holds a PhD from the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (Paris) and UQAM. His research focuses on the consequences of immigration for Western societies\, with a particular focus on debates on multiculturalism\, public controversies related to identity politics in the public sphere\, and the agency of migrants during their migratory journey. Before joining UQAM\, he was a post-doctoral researcher at Queen’s University (Canada) and Harvard (United States). Dr. May was awarded the Vincent Lemieux Prize for the best thesis in political science in Canada as well as two awards for teaching excellence at Harvard University. He regularly writes articles and op-eds\, notably including the Los Angeles Times\, Huffington Post US\, Le Monde\, Le Figaro\, and Liberation. \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:Kids on the Street: Queer Oral History\, Performative Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:with Joseph Plaster \nJoseph Plaster’s prize-winning Kids on the Street: Queer Kinship and Religion in San Francisco’s Tenderloin (Duke University Press\, February 2023) explores the informal support networks that enabled abandoned and runaway “kids on the street” to survive in central city tenderloin districts across the United States\, and San Francisco’s Tenderloin in particular\, over the past century. Centering the experiences of street kids enabled him to articulate—indeed excavate—a history of queer sociality that has been overshadowed by major narratives of gay progress and pride. He ultimately represents a politics where the marginal position of street youth—the self-defined “kids on the street\,” hair fairies\, hustlers\, queens\, and “undesirables”—is the basis for a moral economy of reciprocity and mutual aid. \nJoseph Plaster is an interdisciplinary scholar trained in queer studies and public humanities\, with teaching and research fields at the intersection of American 20th-century urban history\, oral history\, performance studies\, public history\, and LGBTQ studies of religion. He is a Lecturer in the Program in Museum and Society and Director of the Winston Tabb Special Collection Research Center at Johns Hopkins University\, where he develops cross-departmental\, community-based research initiative in collaboration with Baltimore’s ballroom and voguing scene\, grassroots trans and non-binary activities\, and local artists of colour. \nREGISTRATION \nRegister now. \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:“Vivre avec le trouble” – Trouble in Oral History and Storytelling 12th Emerging Scholars Symposium (Friday\, March 14)
DESCRIPTION:How might trouble and troublemaking (re)shape our fields? How might oral history and storytelling help us survive the current moment of poly-crisis? How might we mobilize oral history and storytelling to engage in necessary troublemaking? This year’s symposium brings together twenty emerging scholars from Concordia and beyond in an interdisciplinary conversation on “Vivre avec le trouble” and the transformative potential of oral history in troubled times. \nOver the course of our day-long conversations\, panelists and conference attendees will explore ways of knowing\, interrogate the politics of the archive\, listen to oral histories on the ground\, and examine how oral history and storytelling might be used in creating a more just society. We will delve into intergenerational conversations and contemplate ways of feeling memory. There will be “ghost stories” too. The program will culminate in a series of four brief performances\, followed by a conversation with the researchers-artists. \nOur keynote speaker\, Dr. Lea Kabiljo (Université Laval)\, the 2024 recipient of the Award of Distinction in Oral History\, will reflect on the complex ethical and relational dynamics of sharing authority in works of research-creation. Her keynote – “Oral History x Photography: Negotiating Authority in Participatory Research-Creation” – brings oral history and photography into a single analytical frame to explore the tensions between researcher subjectivity and participant agency. \nThe Emerging Scholars Symposium is one of the highlights of our COHDS year. We’d be delighted if you could join us! \, \nSee the program at a glance. \nSee the full program (including panel description and biographies of panelists) \n  \nThe Program Committee | Le comité organisateur \nSamia Dumais is a PhD student in history at Concordia University.

SUMMARY:Walking as a Way of Knowing:  Amy Starecheski in Conversation with Luis C. Sotelo
DESCRIPTION:with Dr. Amy Starecheski\, Director\, Columbia University’s Oral History MA program and Dr. Luis C. Sotelo\, Director\, Concordia’s Acts of Listening Lab \nWhat and how do we learn about the past when we use our bodies as research instruments? Dr. Starecheski will open this conversation by sharing a paired soundwalk she created as a way of “walking other people’s memories into our bodies” and building enduring relationships grounded in history sharing in her South Bronx neighborhood. \nIn her current research about how people decide what is true about the past\, Dr. Starecheski is doing participant observation and archival research in communities of history practitioners in the Bronx\, from journalists and historians to genealogists and history buffs. While most say that they are carefully weighing textual evidence to find out what happened in the past\, in practice many rely as much or more on affective and embodied ways of knowing – including walking – when trying to make sense of all the messy traces of the past they encounter. Dr. Starecheski will share some of these preliminary findings and invite you to think with her about walking\, and embodied practice more broadly\, as a way of knowing about the past. Dr. Sotelo Castro will respond remotely from the United College at the University of Waterloo\, where he is currently acting as a visiting associate professor in the humanities. \nDr. Amy Starecheski consults and lectures widely on oral history education and methods\, is co-author of the Telling Lives Oral History Curriculum Guide\, and co-founded the Pedagogy of Listening Lab. She was lead interviewer on Columbia’s September 11\, 201 Narrative and Memory Project\, for which she interviewed Afghans\, Muslims\, Sikhs\, activists\, low-income people\, and people who lost work. From 2020-2023 she was Co-Director of the NYC Covid-19 Oral History\, Narrative and Memory Project. \nLuis C. Sotelo Castro is an Associate Visiting Professor in the Humanities at United College (University of Waterloo) and Associate Professor in the Department of Theatre at Concordia University\, Montreal (Québec\, Canada). Between 2016 and 2021 he held the position of Canada Research Chair in Oral History Performance at Concordia. With funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation\, he established in 2018 the Acts of Listening Lab\, a hub for research-creation on the transformative power of listening. \nREGISTRATION \nRegister to attend (in person only)  \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but registration is mandatory.

SUMMARY:CANCELED: How to Say 'Longing'
DESCRIPTION:with Jad Orphée Chami and Noël Vezina \nJoin us on Thursday\, February 20th\, at 7 PM\, at the ALLab\, Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling\, for How to say ‘longing’\, a contemplative performance by movement artist Noël Vézina and composer Jad Orphée Chami. \nThis intimate exploration of dualities—music and movement\, composition and improvisation\, the said and the unsaid—delves into the boundaries of closeness\, vulnerability\, and technology. Using a MIDI controller\, a chain of touch-sensitive sensors\, the performers weave a digital soundscape that shifts with their physical interactions\, crafting a dialogue of embodied listening. \nJad Orphée Chami  is a Lebanese-Canadian artist-researcher\, composer and performer born in Beirut and living in Montreal. He notably composed the original music for the feature film Antigone by Sophie Deraspe\, which represented Canada at the 92nd Academy Awards. He was nominated at the age of 21 for the Iris prize for best original music at the 22nd Gala Québec Cinéma\, notably alongside Jean-Michel Blais and Howard Shore. After having provided the soundtracks for more than fifteen short films and three web series\, he composed his second film score in 2023 in collaboration with director Eli Jean Tahchi for the documentary Dorchester: In the Midst of the Fray\, produced by Jonah Mallak (Nemesis Films). \nIn addition to his music work for the image\, he composes and designs works for the contemporary scene\, notably for the École de Danse Contemporaine de Montréal and for the Acts of Listening Lab in collaboration with the Center for Restorative Justice. He explores through research-creation the dialogue between music and oral history. In 2022\, he is part of a trio of artists commissioned by the MAI for the realization of the work Justement (en)raciner on the theme of Justice\, among others alongside Kimura Byol-Lemoine\, Angelina Guo and Moe Clark. The same year\, he presented with Noël Vézina the performance How to say ‘longing’\, mixing dance-theatre\, music and new technologies\, at the RIPA performance evening. The testimonies of the disappeared from Lebanon are central to his approach.

SUMMARY:Dancing Life Stories/Dancing Biographies/ Forming the WE
DESCRIPTION:* Please note this event has been moved to the Dance Studio at MB 7.265\, 1600 Blvd. De Maisonneuve Ouest \nEnglish \nJoin us for an evening of dance as students from the Department of Contemporary Dance bring embodied (auto-)biographical narratives to the Acts of Listening Lab. Such storytelling in motion – based on life history interviews that students conducted with one of their peers – constitutes what Christine Thurner once called “emphatically fragile\, deliberately contingent narrative acts.” These gestural narratives break free of the frame of linear\, literary (auto)biography. Seen in relation to one another they form a complex and rich society.  \nThis event is based on students’ coursework in the Department of Contemporary Dance\, who\, under the guidance of Professor Lília Mestre\, are exploring the possibilities of danced life narration\, this time in a collective improvisation setting.  \n   \nWith the DANC 202 Cohort: Angel Buell\, E.V. Cloix\, Valeria Cortes Pardo\, Karlanne Dusablon Girard\, Gabrielle Forget\, Magdalen Fortin\, Marina Gris\, Isabelle Grondin Hernandez\, Lauriane Houle\, Isabella Jenkin\, Kathy Jin\, Meryam Joober\, Sabrina Konstas\, Berdelia Loemba Tchiss\, Thaïna Louis-Jeune\, Ruben Macas\, Maria Marsli\, Arezoo Mohadjeri\, Ro Paloma\, Valentina del Mar Rojas Baquero.  \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! Register here.

SUMMARY:Crafting the (de)Industrialised Culture of the City of Elefsina\, Greece: The Openeleusis Oral History Research Project
DESCRIPTION:with Regina Mantanika \nThe Openeleusis research project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers in anthropology\, history and visual arts for community-based research in Eleusina\, a city where Greek industrial history is heavily imprinted on people’s memories and everyday life. Eleusina is situated in Western Attika and has undergone various phases of (de)industrialisation since the late 19th century. The Openeleusis team has worked on the industrial culture of Eleusina through participant observation\, workshops\, individual biographical interviews\, focus groups and ethnographic filmmaking. One of the results is an open digital archive\, https://openeleusis.eu/?lang=en. It is a digital space\, a living library and memory bank of the city\, which presents in an inventive way the material resulting from the historical and ethnographic research in order to ‘return it back’ to the community. \nThe OPENELEUSIS archive includes texts\, videos and documents such as photographs\, videos\, maps\, testimonies\, interviews\, etc. To have an intergenerational approach in the field\, our team organised docu-animation workshops for children aged 8-12 in Elefsina. Three different teams (schools) were trained in oral history and stop-motion animation techniques for one week each. Finally\, the team organised oral history seminars for the local community\, leading to the creation of the Oral History Group of Eleusina (OPIEL)\, which will have its own space on openeleusis.eu. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! Register here. For any questions contact\, cohds.chorn@concordia.ca   \nIn person\, LB 1019 (Sunroom)  \n   \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Dictatorship\, Disasters\, and Diaspora: Gathering Collective Memories in Haiti and beyond
DESCRIPTION:(photo source: Centre International de Documentation et d’Information Haïtienne\, Caribéenne et Afro-canadienne (the International Center for Haitian\, Caribbean\, and Afro-Canadian Documentation and Information)\, also known as the CIDIHCA Collections.) \nwith Virginie Belony and Rachel Douglas \nEnglish \nThis panel explores how Haitians at home and abroad have remembered and processed major historical traumas\, from political oppression to natural catastrophes. It features two interconnected presentations examining collective memory and its role in shaping Haitian identity and diaspora experiences. Dr. Rachel Douglas analyzes Myriam Chancy’s creative explorations of disaster response\, focusing on earthquake memory sites and the process of ‘re-membering’ Haiti’s traumas. Her presentation delves into healing practices\, commemoration\, and transformative visions for Haiti’s future. Dr. Virginie Belony’s research investigates how Quebec’s Haitian community has engaged with memories of the Duvalier dictatorship (1957-1986). Through oral histories and community activism records\, her work reveals diverse perspectives on the regime and its ongoing impact from 1964 to 2014. Together\, these presentations provide insights into the emotional and political dimensions of memory in postcolonial contexts\, demonstrating how trauma\, resilience\, and survival are deeply woven into both past and present narratives of Haiti and its diaspora.    \n  \nVirginie Belony is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto\, where she specializes in 20th-century Haitian history. She earned her Ph.D. in History from the Université de Montréal in 2023. Virginie Belony’s research examines Haitian intellectual thought before 1957\, issues of contested memory following periods of state-sponsored violence\, and collective memory in diasporic spaces. In addition to her research\, she serves as an assistant editor for the annual publication Revue d’Histoire Haïtienne. Starting in January 2025\, she will join the Department of History at the Université de Montréal as an assistant professor.  \nRachel Douglas is Reader in French and Comparative Literature at the University of Glasgow. She is the author of two books: Making The Black Jacobins: C. L. R. James and the Drama of History (Duke University Press\, 2019) and Frankétienne and Rewriting: A Work in Progress (Lexington Books\, 2009). She works on Caribbean literature\, history\, film\, visual art\, and archives with a focus on Haiti. She is currently working on two book projects: Reimagining Haiti: Decolonial Visions\, based on her Royal Society of Edinburgh Research Fellowship; and Archiving Creative Aftershocks of Disaster in Haiti\, based on her current Leverhulme Trust Research Fellowship.  \n  \nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Book launch of "mmm...Manitoba: The Stories Behind the Food We Eat"
DESCRIPTION:By Kimberley Moore & Janis Thiessen\, University of Winnipeg\n\nwith: Rhonda Hinther\, Jo McCutcheon\, Ian Mosby\nChairs | Présidence : Janis Thiessen and Kimberley Moore\n\nIn 2018\, Janis Thiessen (History\, University of Winnipeg) and Kimberley Moore and Kent Davies (Oral History Centre\, University of Winnipeg) refashioned a used food truck into a mobile oral history lab: the Manitoba Food History Truck. They travelled Manitoba together\, conducting and archiving oral histories about the province’s food with the people who make\, sell\, and eat it. They interviewed restaurant owners\, beer brewers\, grocers\, farmers\, scholars\, and chefs in their kitchens and businesses\, online\, and on board the truck. They conducted nearly seventy interviews and tasted everything from Winnipeg’s “Fat Boys” to Steinbach’s perogies to Churchill’s cloudberry jam.\n\nOne of the many public history outcomes of this oral history research is Mmm…Manitoba: The Stories Behind the Foods We Eat (Thiessen and Moore\, University of Manitoba Press\, 2024). An innovative combination of history\, recipes\, maps\, archival records\, biographies\, and full-colour photographs\, the book has a companion website featuring ArcGIS maps\, Story Maps\, and podcast episodes. Food history becomes a lens to examine the broader history of Manitoba and Canada: food security and regulation\, Indigenous foodways and agriculture\, capitalism’s impact on the agri-food industry\, the networks between food producers and retailers\, as well as gender\, ethnicity\, migration\, and colonialism.\n\nJanis Thiessen and Kimberley Moore will present an interactive roundtable on mmm…Manitoba\, featuring commentary by three major scholars in Canadian food\, labour\, Indigenous\, and public history: Rhonda Hinther\, Jo McCutcheon\, and Ian Mosby.\n\nBooks will be available for purchase at COHDS. We look forward to seeing you there!

SUMMARY:Llamado y Respuesta: ¿Quién escucha a César? | Call and Response: who listens to Cesar?
DESCRIPTION:Un evento del Laboratorio de Actos de Escucha y del Coro a la Escucha | A research-creation event by the Acts of Listening Lab and the Listening Choir. \nMay 17\, and 18\, 2024\, 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm (including light refreshments and talk back discussion) \n(In Spanish\, a written translation into English will be provided) \nWe use headphones verbatim (a documentary theatre technique) and choral singing to reconstruct moments of a hearing of the Special Jurisdiction for Peace set up in 2016 in Colombia as a war crimes tribunal to enable victims of war crimes to be heard and ex-rebels and other offenders to admit responsibility and contribute to repairing the damages caused. It focuses on the statements by Cesar Lasso\, a police officer who was held hostage for thirteen years\, five months and one day by the rebel group Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). \nYou are also invited to participate in a talk back to figure out who listens and what it takes to listen to each other in restorative terms. It is a collective exercise in listening for community building in post-conflict settings. If you accept the invitation\, be ready to participate with as little or as much involvement as you feel ready to contribute. We will implement a care protocol using singing and listening techniques. \n\nCoro a la Escucha is a pilot project exploring singing as a means of facilitating an acoustic space in which personal memories by people impacted by violence can be shared. \nThe Acts of Listening Lab (ALLab) is a hub for research-creation on the transformative power of listening in the context of oral history performance. It brings together artists-researchers\, communities\, and activists from across disciplines and cultures interested in exploring alternative and creative ways of making life stories matter in the public sphere. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease confirm your presence by registering here: https://forms.office.com/r/iP5x3Mp5qi \n\n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Gaming & Oral History
DESCRIPTION:with Carl Therrien\, Jonathan Lessard\, and Dany Guay-Bélanger\n\nEnglish\n\nVideogames are a fairly young medium. Emerging as a commercial good in the early 1960s\, they have slowly made their way into the mainstream. What was once seen as toys for young boys has become so widespread that many of us have them in our living rooms or basements\, and even close to us at all times in our very pockets. There has been interest in the history of the medium for quite some time\, as can be seen with the many publications by fans and journalists and the recent resurgence of retrogaming. But academia lagged behind in investigating videogame history and it is only around 2010\, about a decade after the emergence of game studies as a discipline\, that this area of research truly gained momentum. Since then\, scholars from across disciplinary boundaries have endeavoured to analyse the complex and fascinating history of a medium that is at once art form\, culture\, and technology. Still\, oral history remains underutilised in the study of videogaming even though many scholars have argued for its potential. This event will give a brief overview of the history of videogames and of historical research on this topic. It will then bring in conversation two approaches to oral history as it relates to videogames. The first\, presented by Carl Therrien and Jonathan Lessard\, is to interview game developers\, and in this case early practitioners of what would become known as the independent game development scene. The second\, presented by Dany Guay-Bélanger\, is to interview players to preserve their memories and experiences of playing and appropriating games.\n\n\n\nJonathan Lessard is a game designer\, professor\, and researcher at Concordia University. For the past ten years as leader of the LabLabLab\, he has been exploring the playful affordances of various technologies and concepts such as natural language processing and possible worlds theory. His main research interests include emergent narratives\, complex simulations\, and game design history. \n\nCarl Therrien is Full Professor in games and film studies at the Université de Montréal. In The Media Snatcher (Platform studies\, MIT Press\, 2019)\, he proposed  a critical view of videogame historiography through a comparative study of the PC Engine platform\, confronting American and Japanese perspectives of this technology. He has written numerous papers on immersion and on the history of popular genres (such as adventure games and first-person shooters). His research projects seek to integrate more video games into the canon\, hoping to assist archivists and historians in their efforts to engage with the diversity and complexity of this culture.\n\nDany Guay-Bélanger is a FRQ-funded PhD candidate in Film Studies at the Université de Montréal. By combining his training as a public historian and a game scholar\, his research aims to develop a methodology favouring a holistic approach for the preservation and study of videogames as cultural heritage artefacts that allows players and researchers\, present and future\, to access videogames from every era of this medium’s history. Dany is currently the Francophone Representative of the Canadian Game Studies Association and scholar in residence at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) of Concordia University.\n\nDany Guay-Bélanger est candidat au doctorat en études cinématographiques à l’Université de Montréal et est financé par le Fonds de recherche du Québec. Combinant sa formation d’historien public et de chercheur en étude du jeu\, sa recherche vise à développer une méthodologie favorisant une approche holistique pour la préservation et l’étude des jeux vidéo en tant qu’artéfacts d’héritage culturel. Cette méthodologie a pour but de permettre aux joueu·euse·s et aux chercheur·euse·s\, présent·e·s et futur·e·s\, d’accéder aux jeux vidéo de toutes les époques de l’histoire de ce médium. Dany est actuellement le représentant francophone de l’Association canadienne des études des jeux et chercheur en résidence au Centre d’histoire orale et de récits numériques (CHORN) de l’Université Concordia.\n\n \n\nREGISTRATION\n\nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Palates & Passages:  Navigating the Intersection of Food and Oral Histories through Migration
DESCRIPTION:with Cassandra Marsillo\, Hannah Pinilla\, and Amanda Whittaker \nEnglish \nThis panel discussion delves into the rich crossing of food history and oral history by exploring the connections between migration\, the concept of home\, and food narratives. Each of the panelists’ research focus on the storytelling found within the pages of cookbooks\, identity and memory formation through food practices\, and the enduring weight of emotion and trauma throughout migrant lives. The event aims to highlight the significance of preserving and sharing stories related to food\, migration\, and family\, and ultimately contribute to the growing research on diverse and interconnected migrant experiences.    \n\nCassandra Marsillo is an educator and public historian\, based in Tiohti:áke (Montreal)\, telling and listening to stories about immigration\, identity\, collective memory\, food\, and folklore\, particularly in relation to the Italian-Canadian experience and traditions from her family’s region\, Molise. She has an MA in Public History from Carleton University\, in Ottawa. Currently\, she is teaching in the department of History and Classics at Dawson College. \nHannah Pinilla is an oral historian and MA student in public history with a specialization in digital humanities at Carleton University. Her SSHRC-funded master’s research project\, “El Sabor del Hogar: The Transformation of Identity and Memory Through the Food Practices of Colombian Migrants in Quebec\,” engages nine Colombian migrants\, living in Montreal and Longueuil in oral history interviews facilitated through cooking sessions\, to explore how the narration\, preparation\, and consumption of ‘home foods’ is a form of embodied and interactive diasporic memory work. Her research question was guided by my own lived experiences as the granddaughter of a first-generation Colombian-Canadian: how does the dialectical relationship between identity and memory manifest through food practice and what impact does it have on the process of home-building? \nAmanda Whittaker is a PhD candidate at the University of Toronto in the Department of History. Her research is driven by her interest in the field of food studies\, gender studies\, and migration history. In her doctoral thesis\, she examines the experience of migration and how it may have altered the development and preservation of migrants’ foodways. Using the oral history testimonies of over 60 first and second-generation migrants\, her project is a study of métissage that explores the cultural negotiations\, preservation\, and exchange that occurs when migrants arrived in Montreal in the post-1960 period. The conceptual framework of her dissertation centers on the notion of “emotional transnationalism” which refers to the rupture as well as the nostalgia of migration\, and considers the embodied forms of remembering and reimagining\, where food and cuisine play a central role. \nCurrently\, she is teaching and in the process of writing her dissertation\, but she gains most of her insights from afternoons with her interview partners where quips\, memories\, and shared emotions are never in short supply.

SUMMARY:The Archive of the Future: Oral History and Community Archiving
DESCRIPTION:with Po Ki Chan\, Sonia Dhaliwal\, Eliot Perrin\, and Carla Rodeghero \nEnglish \nJoin us for a conversation regarding lives of learning\, experiences with oral history\, and community archiving. Increasingly\, we seek to break down institutional barriers and include participants in the archival process. What does this process look like? How does community archiving differ from state archive/academic archives? How does the role of shared authority translate within the archiving process? This conversation will speak to these challenges\, but also the opportunities afforded to community-grounded archival practice that seeks to build an inclusionary archive for the future. In doing so\, we seek to speak to the best practices that can help us to achieve this. Our panellists represent diverse academic and professional backgrounds that highlight the various approaches to answering these questions. \n\nPo Ki Chan is a PhD student in INDI at Concordia University. She holds an MSc in Multimedia and Entertainment technology from the Design School of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University\, where she started her journey in exploring possibilities in a virtual representation of the heritage of cultural significance. Her research focuses on heritage conservation by leveraging oral history to provide an effective understanding and cultural presence for the global audience. \nSonia Dhaliwal is an information professional who has worked as an archivist and librarian in academic institutions. She has a keen interest in developing archives and research collections reflective of diasporas through community led digital scholarship and research-creation based initiatives. She graduated from McGill’s School of Information Studies and has an MA in History from Concordia. \nEliot Perrin is the archives coordinator for the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling at Concordia University. He is also a History PhD candidate at Concordia. His research focuses on the impacts of urban renewal and deindustrialization on a historically Francophone neighbourhood in Sudbury\, Ontario. \nCarla Rodeghero is a History Professor at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)\, in Porto Alegre\, Brazil\, where she teaches history of Contemporary Brazil\, and oral history methodology. Between 2012 and 2014\, Carla was editor of the Brazilian Oral History Association Journal (História Oral) and in the following biennium\, she chaired the national organization. Since 2018\, she coordinates the UFRGS’s Oral History Repository\, a website and a collaborative team that aims to gather\, organize and publish interviews carried out by students\, professors and other researchers from the History Department of the university. Carla is currently involved with two projects: 1) she is comparing some oral history institutional experiences in Brazil\, Canada and Italy; 2) she is a co-coordinator of the inter-institutional project Documenting the Covid 19 Experiences in Rio Grande do Sul\, that is been carried out for 14 institutions in her state. \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! This is an online event\, register on zoom to attend. \n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Stories Beyond Borders: Mapping the Imaginative Spaces  of Movement and Migration
DESCRIPTION:with Stéphane Martelly\, Maricia Fischer-Souan\, and Kelly Norah Drukker \nEnglish \nIn this panel presentation and discussion\, writers and scholars working within the disciplines of oral history\, sociology\, and creative writing share different approaches to “mapping” stories of movement and migration—from intimate ethnographies to those told within broader communities. What role does place play in the interview process\, and how does it shape the stories that emerge from oral history interviews? What strategies can we use\, informed by a range of disciplinary practices\, to capture some of the felt dislocations—the distances between “here” and “there”— that emerge from our research? Through conversation and sharing works in progress\, this panel explores how places can be (re)imagined through different modes of writing\, and how various forms of mapping can serve as useful tools to convey the stories that emerge from places\, both present and past.  \n\nChair: Stéphane Martelly\, Université de Sherbrooke (TBC) \nWriter\, painter and scholar\, Stéphane Martelly was born in Port-au-Prince and now lives in Montreal. Through a profoundly transdisciplinary approach\, she confronts theory\, critical reflection and art in her work. She has published poetry [La Boîte noire suivi de Départs 2004)] and children’s tales [Couleur de rue\, 1999 and L’Homme aux cheveux de fougère\, 2002]. Her pictorial works are showcased in the digital art book Folie passée à la chaux vive (Madness spent in quicklime) (Publie.net\, 2010). \nHer scholarly work notably includes working in the Montreal-based Life Stories Of Montrealers Displaced By War\, Genocide And Other Human Rights Violations as a researcher and coordinator. She also wrote a monograph on Haitian poet Magloire-Saint-Aude (Le Sujet opaque\, 2001) and several articles on Caribbean literature. Her latest essay in research-creation is: Les Jeux du dissemblable. Folie\, marge et féminin en littérature haïtienne contemporaine\, Nota Bene\, 2016. Her recent publications are La Maman qui s’absentait (Vents d’Ailleurs\, 2011)\, Inventaires (Triptyque\, 2016) and L’enfant gazelle (Remue-Ménage\, 2018). \nhttps://www.usherbrooke.ca/dall/departement/personnel/personnel-enseignant/stephane-martelly \nMaricia Fischer-Souan is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Postdoctoral Fellow at the Centre for Research on Social Inequalities at Sciences Po Paris (October 2021-2024) and affiliated with the Centre d’études et de recherches internationales (CÉRIUM)\, Université de Montréal. Her postdoctoral research project\, “IM.MAGINE – Mapping Immigrant Imaginations: Comparing North Africans in Montréal and Marseille”\, examines representations of and relationships with space and place in migrant identity construction. She has a PhD in Social Sciences (2020) from the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid. Her dissertation “Becoming a Migrant in Europe: Accounts of Motive\, Meaning\, and Identity Formation” studied various processes of mobile subjectivity among both postcolonial migrants and European Union ‘free-movers’ in Berlin\, London\, Paris\, and Madrid. As part of her current IM.MAGINE project\, she is exploring lyrical and imaginative approaches to ‘everyday’ migration narratives\, both methodologically and thematically and is working on a book manuscript that charts the use of figurative language in both individual and public migration narratives. Her most recent research article\, “Belonging to the Nation\, Belonging to Europe? Varieties of Particularism and Universalism in Migrant Identity Negotiation” is published in the Journal of Contemporary European Studies (2024). \nKelly Norah Drukker is a poet\, nonfiction writer\, and doctoral candidate in Concordia University’s Humanities PhD program.

SUMMARY:Voices of the Immigrant Workers’ Centre
DESCRIPTION:with Lauren Laframboise and Stefan Christoff  \nIn 2007\, Montreal-based garment manufacturer Lamour prepared to shutter its Canadian production activities\, gradually laying off nearly 500 of its employees to circumvent labour legislation that would force the company to pay collective layoff benefits. Over 2007 and 2008\, Lamour workers and community organizers at the Immigrant Workers Centre (IWC) engaged in a struggle to gain compensation for Lamour employees. In 2023\, Stefan Christoff and Lauren Laframboise recorded short oral history interviews with four IWC organizers who were involved in the Lamour struggle (Mostafa Henaway\, Joey Calugay\, Yumna Siddiqi and Bita Mary Eslami). The interviews reveal the crucial role that the IWC plays in non-unionized industries that primarily employ immigrant workers. The IWC organizers also reflect on their own paths to community organizing\, and the ways that work has continued to transform amidst the rise in the logistics industry and temporary employment agencies.   \nThe interviews were broadcasted on the community radio show Free City Radio in September and October 2023. Based at CKUT 90.3 FM\, Free City Radio is hosted and produced by Stefan Christoff and is syndicated at five radio stations across Canada\, broadcast on Radio AlHara in occupied Palestine\, and is also released as a podcast on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The interviews were also completed in partnership with the Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time project based at COHDS. Listen to the interviews and find out more about the project here. This event will bring together those who were interviewed in a panel-style discussion to look back on the Lamour campaign collectively.   \n\nLauren Laframboise is a PhD student in History at Concordia and a Student Representative on the COHDS Administrative Board. Her research explores the impacts of deindustrialization in the apparel industry in Montréal and New York City. In 2021\, Lauren completed her MA in History at Concordia\, and from 2020-2022 she was the Associate Director of Deindustrialization and the Politics of Our Time (DéPOT). She has worked on a variety of public history projects exploring labour and immigration history\, including museum exhibitions\, online oral history platforms\, walking tours\, and documentary film and radio. She is also a member of the Concordia Research and Education Workers’ Union (CREW–CSN) Organizing Council and Co-convener of their Feminist Workplace Committee. \nStefan Christoff is a musician\, community radio host and student living in Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. \nMostafa Henaway\, a Canadian-born Egyptian\, is a long-time community organizer at the Immigrant Workers Centre in Montreal\, where he has been organizing for justice for immigrant/migrant workers for over two decades. He is also a researcher and PhD candidate at Concordia University. \nYumna Siddiqi is an Associate Professor of English at Middlebury College\, where she specializes in postcolonial literary studies. Her current research is on postcolonial literature\, migrants and the city. She has been a volunteer at the IWC-CTI since 2006\, and seen the Center grow from the little NGO that could to an immigrant labour power house. \nBita Mary Eslami is an Irani exile and a forever Montrealer. For two decades she has supported non-status and migrant families\, victims of police violence\, promoted child care and worked to advance the international BDS movement in solidarity with Palestinians. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal's First Haitian Street Gang
DESCRIPTION:with Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland \nYou are cordially invited to join authors Maxime Aurélien and Ted Rutland for a discussion on their new book: Out to Defend Ourselves: A History of Montreal’s First Haitian Street Gang \nAbout the book: \nThis first critical history of a street gang in a Canadian city is a result of a four-year collaboration between a university professor (Ted Rutland) and the leader of les Bélangers (Maxime Aurélien). Out to Defend Ourselves tells the story of Montreal’s first Haitian street gang\, les Bélangers. It traces how the gang emerged from a group of Haitian friends\, the children of migrants from Haiti in the 1970s. It documents the forms of racial violence they experienced and their battles against them. It also documents the everyday lives of the gang members\, the petty crime some members engaged in to make ends meet\, and how the police actions against the gang changed its nature and function – making it\, finally\, a more criminally oriented and violent formation. It is a story about a gang\, but it is also a story of young Haitians making their lives in 1970s and 80s Montreal and a story about Montreal in a period of great change. \n\nMaxime Aurélien is the former leader of les Bélangers\, Montreal’s first Haitian street gang. He is the owner of Cash Content\, a pawn shop and barbershop in Montreal’s east end. \nTed Rutland is a professor at Concordia University. His research and activism focuses on the racial politics of urban planning and policing in Canadian cities. He is the author of Displacing Blackness: Planning\, Power\, and Race in Twentieth-Century Halifax. \n  \n\nREGISTRATION  \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all.

SUMMARY:*Cancelled* Violence and Solace : The Natal Civil War in Late-Apartheid South Africa
DESCRIPTION:*Please note that this event has been cancelled* \nwith Mxolisi R. Mchunu (University of KwaZulu-Natal)   \nEnglish/Français \n  \nIn South Africa\, the period leading to up to the country’s first democratic elections in April 1990 constituted a watershed moment. An unprecedented civil war – termed ‘black on black’ violence – pitted supporters of the African National Congress (ANC) against Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP). In 1989\, these conflicts escalated into open warfare and the arming of military units within ANC and IFP areas\, respectively.   \nWhile the conflict was ostensibly between the ANC and IFP\, state security forces were directly implicated in supplying arms and other support to the IFP. In the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands region\, the most violent period of the civil conflict lasted from 1986 to 1996. Most of those tortured and murdered were young men between the ages of thirteen and thirty-six.    \nThis talk will focus on the testimonies of women who survived this heinous war and their creation of self-defence units in the Natal-Midlands. A seven-minute audio-visual interviews conducted by the author and women combatants will be shown. The war took place not only in the battlefields but also in the homesteads\, spaces mostly occupied by women and children.    \n\nMxolisi R. Mchunu holds a Ph.D. in History from University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN). He is a post-doctoral student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. He is the author of the award-winning Violence and Solace: The Natal Civil War in Late-Apartheid South Africa\, co-published by UKZN Press and the University of Virginia Press in 2021.    \n\nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Where Literature and Oral History Meet | Quand la littérature rencontre l'histoire orale
DESCRIPTION:English/Français \nA Discussion With Professor Ceri Morgan & Copanelists \nIn this roundtable discussion\, Ceri Morgan\, writer and professor of Place Writing and Geohumanities (Keele University\, UK) and co-panelists explore the connections between literature and oral history. Stories\, poems\, essays\, and literary audio walks that sample oral history interviews uncover the layered histories of landscapes and the diverse experiences of marginalized people. They do so while showcasing the poetic potential of everyday speech. Oral history can also leverage the interview to highlight the unseen labour that goes into literary production: proofreading\, translation\, event organizing\, etc. How does oral history diversify and democratize literature\, and how does literary practice poeticize oral history? \n\nUne discussion avec la professeure Ceri Morgan & panélistes \nLors de cette table ronde\, un groupe de panélistes se joint à la professeure Ceri Morgan de l’Université Keele au Royaume-Uni\, spécialisée en géo-humanité et en écriture des lieux. Ensemble\, nous allons explorer les liens entre la littérature et l’histoire orale. Les récits\, les poèmes\, les essais et les balades audio littéraires qui échantillonnent les voix des entretiens nous permettent d’accéder à la complexité de l’histoire d’un paysage et aux voix diverses des personnes marginalisées\, tout en mettant en valeur l’aspect poétique de la parole quotidienne. L’histoire orale peut également mettre en lumière le travail invisible qui accompagne la production littéraire : relecture\, traduction\, organisation d’événements\, etc. Comment l’histoire orale diversifie-t-elle et démocratise-t-elle la littérature\, et comment la pratique littéraire poétise-t-elle l’histoire orale ? \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Small Stories of War: Children\, Youth and Conflict in Canada and Beyond (McGill-Queen’s University Press\, 2023)
DESCRIPTION:With Barbara Lorenzkowski\, Kristine Alexander\, and Andrew Burtch   \nEnglish \nMany believed the twentieth century would be the century of the child: an era in which modern societies would value and protect children\, sheltering them from violence and poverty. Yet this hopeful vision was marred by the harsh realities of migration\, displacement\, and armed conflict.  \nSmall Stories of War grapples with the meanings and memories of childhood and wartime by asking new questions about lived experience. Spanning the First World War to the early twenty-first century and featuring chapters about Canada\, Australia\, Germany\, the former Yugoslavia\, Rwanda\, and northern Uganda\, this volume asks how young people encountered and responded to armed conflict. How did children\, youth\, and their families make sense of war in the violent twentieth century? How have they shared their stories and experiences of violence and trauma? Analyzing a broad range of sources including family letters\, oral history\, and children’s artwork\, contributors offer important insights into the production of historical knowledge with and about young people.  \nYou are cordially invited to join the editors and contributors of this collection in the launch of this collection.  \n\nBarbara Lorenzkowski is the Lead Co-Director of COHDS and Associate Professor and Associate Chair of History at Concordia University.  \nKristine Alexander is Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Studies and Associate Professor of History at the University of Lethbridge.  \nAndrew Burtch is the post-1945 historian at the Canadian War Museum and Adjunct Research Professor in Carleton University’s History Department.  \nREGISTRATION \n Please note that all of our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register!

SUMMARY:Moving-with Anastasis Corporal\, a path to implicated witnessing
DESCRIPTION:Sarah Ashford Hart will present her contribution to the special issue Oral History Performance\, Listening and Transitional Justice (RiDe\, Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance\, Vol. 28\, Issue 1\, 2023)\, which was co-edited by Luis Carlos Sotelo Castro (the Acts of Listening Lab’s director) and Toni Shapiro-Phim (Brandeis University).

SUMMARY:(Pre)Creation Processes: Milo Rau's Tribunals\, Political Actions\, and Prefigurative Performance
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Lily Climenhaga\, PhD \nThis talk will primarily explore two lines of work within Swiss-German political theatre director Milo Rau’s multifaceted oeuvre: (1) his political action performances exemplified by projects like The Congo Tribunal and The Revolt of Dignity (2019)\, and (2) site specific adaptations of classic texts exemplified by The Trilogy of Ancient Myths (Orestes in Mosul (2019)\, The New Gospel (2020)\, Antigone in the Amazons (2023)). \nOver the past fifteen years\, Rau and his production company\, the International Institute of Political Murder or IIPM\, has won international attention for his transnational\, politically engaged\, documentary-inspired theatre. With his appointment as artistic director of the Belgian city-theatre NTGent in 2018\, Rau showed increased interest in what he refers to as “conflict zones”\, building on an existing interest in the impact of neoliberal economic policy on the Global South first marked by The Congo Tribunal (2015/17). \nThis talk will look at Rau’s onsite\, ethnographic\, research-based approach as it searches for solutions fostered by the creation of what the director calls “practical networks of solidarity” between local and international partners\, allying – for better or for worse – the grassroots with the global. \n\nLily Climenhaga wrote the dissertation (Re)Creation Processes: Milo Rau and the International Institute of Political Murder in a joint degree between the University of Alberta and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität and the co-editor of Theater’s special 2021 edition on Milo Rau. Lily is currently undertaking the FWO-funded postdoctoral project “Institutionalized Resistance: Milo Rau’s NTGent Period” at Universiteit Gent. Lily is a dramaturg\, editor\, blogger (https://lostdramaturgininternational.wordpress.com)\, critic\, translator\, and occasional stage manager.

Cette approche\, inspirée à l’origine par les pratiques artistiques\, s’étend désormais à de nombreux domaines comme les sciences sociales\, l’architecture\, l’aménagement\, l’éducation\, l’activisme ou l’histoire orale. La cartographie sensible peut en effet permettre d’identifier et de révéler des aspects importants des récits comme les émotions associées à la mémoire et aux souvenirs. Une initiation à cette méthode sera proposée dans cet atelier au cours duquel une attention particulière sera portée au processus mise en carte de manière sensible. Elle sera suivie par une discussion (en français et en anglais).  \nCOHDS/ALLAB are grateful to be able to offer our programming on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n
