SUMMARY:Conversation: Ethics as a quest
DESCRIPTION:This is an open and non-formal conversation between Dr. Catherine Richardson and Zeina Ismail-Allouche that unsettles the concept of shared authority as a guaranteed pathway towards an ethical approach. The session will take the form of a sharing circle that invites participants to unpack their understanding of ethics while addressing representation and contextualization as proposed main constructs to ethics. We will address Indigenous Methodologies as a relational egalitarian approach that extends the concept of shared authority to include the world views\, the choice of the research question\, and the positionality of the researcher vis-vis the research question. \nREGISTRATION \n\nYou can register via Zoom by clicking here

SUMMARY:Indigenous Healing Knowledges Online Gathering
DESCRIPTION:9:00-12:00: Learning from Indigenous Healers \n13:00-16:00: Youth exploration of Indigenous Healing Knowledges \nCome join us for an online gathering\, as we get to hear from various Elders\, Knowledge Keepers and youth on their experiences and approaches to healing. \nToday\, more than ever\, Indigenous peoples need knowledge of ways to enhance their immune systems\, avoid conditions such as diabetes and high stress\, in order to prevent being vulnerable to conditions such as COVID19. \nIn this context\, this research aims to enhance the understanding of Indigenous worldview and epistemology in relation to healing and well-being\, by presenting the teachings of various healing practitioners including those of the Cree\, Métis\, and Haudenosaunee. These Indigenous Healers referred to as speakers engage in healing practices in the context of social work\, counselling\, talk therapy\, energy work\, and those who heal through modalities of music\, rhythm\, sound\, and song. They will offer teachings in their epistemological and cosmological approaches to their work and will inform an audience in areas of First Peoples Studies\, Counselling\, Social Work\, Health Professionals\, Sociological and Psychological scholars\, and community members. \nREGISTRATION \nIn order to accommodate social distancing\, all of COHDS/ALLab events will be held online.

SUMMARY:Cartographier l'histoire orale de Kigali à Montréal / festival d’histoire de Montréal
DESCRIPTION:Avec Sébastien Caquard & Lisa Ndejuru \nCentre d’Histoire Orale et de Récits Numérisés // Université Concordia \nLe projet de cartographie des récits de vie d’exilés Rwandais mené à l’université Concordia – en collaboration avec l’université Carleton et l’association Page-Rwanda – combine l’histoire orale et la cartographie numérique pour nous emmener de Kigali à Montréal en passant par Bujumbura\, Bukavu\, Louvain ou Ottawa. Plus qu’un voyage géographique\, ces cartes originales et interactives nous invitent à écouter ces récits riches et inspirants dans lesquels se mêlent des souvenirs d’enfance\, de famille\, d’amitié\, d’exile et de génocide. Ces cartes nous laissent entrevoir la manière dont ces exilés parlent des lieux qu’ils ont quittés et le regard qu’ils portent sur ceux où ils vivent désormais. \nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://concordia-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcrf-2rqzssE9X9Jjkh9hQRFbME7l5icloj

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.

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:Listening
DESCRIPTION:In this conversation\, two mapmakers and friends will reflect on how stories figure in their work\, in particular\, stories that are difficult to tell and difficult to hear. \nAnne Kelly Knowles is an historical geographer long engaged in finding methods to answer historical questions and visualize past geographies. She co-founded the Holocaust Geographies Collaborative in 2007\, and currently teaches at the University of Maine. \nMargaret Wickens Pearce is a Citizen Potawatomi Nation tribal member.  She grew up on Seneca territory at Ga’shgöhsagöh (Rochester\, NY) and now lives on Penobscot territory at Catawamkeag (Rockland\, ME). You can find her at studio1to1.net. \nThe Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS) in collaboration with the Geomedia lab at Concordia University is organizing a series of conversations around maps and stories. These conversations will involve students\, researchers\, mapmakers\, artists\, and activists working at the intersection between maps and stories\, and will aim to address two broad questions: What are the most pressing methodological\, theoretical\, technological\, ethical and design challenges raised by the relationship between maps and stories? What might be the impacts of these relationships within the social\, cultural and political spheres? This series of conversations will take place online and will be freely accessible. \nFree\, Registration required \nIn order to accommodate social distancing\, all of COHDS/ALLab events will be held online. \nFind the official poster here.

SUMMARY:Going Public in the Covid-19 Era – A Round Table
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit: Michel Turgeon. 1984. AGQ-F0187/S6/SS1/D1. Fonds Association des bonnes gens sourds. Collection of the Archives gaies du Québec \nVictor Samoylenko\n“Walls Have Ears: The Stories of Montreal’s Queer Spaces” \nTaking inspiration from queer mapping projects Queering the Map and Mapping Montreal’s Queer Spaces\, the project Walls have Ears: The Stories of Montreal’s LGBTQ2S+ Spaces seeks to not only put the diverse experiences of LGBTQ2S+ people on a map\, but also to render them audible and combine different types of media. The project presents oral history narrations as well as historical capsules about important queer neighbourhoods. As such\, it highlights spaces that are important for the participants all while giving historical context to Montreal’s LGBTQ2S communities. \nThe exhibit is a pilot project – it is a testament to what is possible to achieve in terms of public history exhibits even in pandemic conditions. Even with limited resources\, the exhibit highlights the sometimes contradictory realities that exist or have existed for LGBTQ2S+ people. As with our own memory\, the project combines multiple times and spaces in a simultaneous manner. Hopefully\, the project will inspire larger and more elaborate projects combining oral history and mapping. As well\, the project is designed to inspire greater collaboration between queer archives across Canada and even worldwide.  Keeping in mind the accessibility of knowledge\, especially given that LGBTQ2S+ topics are optional and often introduced at post-secondary level in the Quebec schools\, Walls have Ears will always remain available online at the site of the Archives gaies du Québec.  \nBiography:  Vic Samoylenko is an Undergraduate in the Public History stream at Concordia\, planning to graduate in Winter 2021. Their research interests include U.S. History post Civil War and LGBTQ2S history. Outside of history\, they are also interested in linguistics and horror studies. In 2018\, Vic published an article about the STI metaphors in the movie It Follows\, in the student section of local horror studies journal Monstrum. In an ideal world\, they would like to create a project that combines the topics of history\, stigma\, linguistics\, and horror. In their free time\, Vic likes to draw and write fiction. \nMarie-Odile Samson\n“Cultural Institutions\, COVID-19\, and the Black Lives Matter Movement” \nThe COVID-19 pandemic has called attention to the interconnections of a wide range of social issues\, such as racial inequalities\, climate change\, and poverty\, as well as the ways in which these relate to the relevance and accessibility of cultural institutions to diverse communities. This project aims to contribute to the emerging discussion regarding the translation of museum exhibits and other programming to the digital realm due to COVID-related social distancing\, as well as broader debates about museums’ responses and responsibilities as pertains to the global wave of protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. The goal of this research is to survey and analyze the fundamental issues in museums and the effects that the pandemic has had on seven key institutions in Montreal. Through an analysis of social media\, online content\, events and publications\, I aim to answer the following questions: how well do museums interact and reach various communities in this city? In what ways did the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement shift the ways in which they do so? I hope this survey of museums’ current responses\, successes\, and failures can serve as a toolkit for stimulating new kinds of partnerships among museums and communities\, and for the reimagining of the museum space as a whole.  \nBiography:  Marie-Odile Samson is currently in her third and final year in the Public History Honours program. She is particularly interested in twentieth century European history\, the study of genocides and events of mass violence\, and the role of memory. She plans on pursuing her studies at the Master’s level either in Museum Studies or Peace and Conflict Studies\, in the hopes of extending her historical knowledge to a broader and social educative purpose\, either through curatorial work or conflict resolution.  \nFree\, online \nRegistration required: https://concordia-ca.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0tc-2uqTojHNy2sopDIiMvVKXimDMdjzev \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

SUMMARY:Co-Creating Narratives / The Sound of Memory Series (ALLab)
DESCRIPTION:Central to podcasting on human rights is the question of voice. Researchers and producers not only have to make choices regarding which voices to include but also how and to what extent they should engage the protagonists of a story. How or in what ways can listeners contribute and enrich the discussion? What happens during listening clubs? How can the producers perform as facilitators? How is co-creation invited and structured? What is the participants’ agency? In this second session of the series The sound of memory we will discuss radio and podcast projects from South Africa and Latin America that explore multiple interactions and engagements between participants and listeners. \nThis event will be held in English and Spanish\, there will be simultaneous translation. \nFree\, online \nRegister in advance for this meeting \nPlease note that this event will be recorded.

SUMMARY:Music & Oral History : The Memory of Violence in Lebanon from the Performance of the Self to Self-Performance (ALLab)
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation of my research-creation’s work in progress\, I propose a reflection on how oral history performance can establish dialogues between music and testimony and between testimony and self-narrative by seeking reconciliation through a shared memory of violence in Lebanon. \nJad Orphée Chami is a Canadian-Lebanese composer\, performer and multidisciplinary artist based in Paris that has notably worked on the original soundtrack of the feature film Antigone by Sophie Deraspe\, awarded Best Canadian Feature Film at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and chosen as Canada’s official selection for the 92nd Oscars. \nA recent BFA in Music graduate with distinction from Concordia University\, he is furthering his interest in research-creation which he is presently working on in Paris at the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences under the supervision of Dr. Clément Canonne (IRCAM) on the question of memory and the role of music in the performance of testimonies in the context of oral history performance. He is currently working on the oral histories of the families of the disappeared during the Lebanese civil war. He is also interested in the cross-cutting issues of art and its aesthetics/ethics contemporary conflicts. \nRegister in advance for this meeting\nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
