*Cancelled* Violence and Solace : The Natal Civil War in Late-Apartheid South Africa
2023-11-28 11:00 - 13:00 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada

with Mxolisi R. Mchunu (University of KwaZulu-Natal)
English/Français

In 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.
While 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.
This 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.

Mxolisi 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.

EXPOSITION : Vivre (et écouter) autrement
2023-11-25 - 2023-12-15 | Concordia University LB-1042 (COHDS), 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd O, Montreal
Horaire : en semaine de 10h à 16h
Cette exposition présente la recherche-création de l’artiste Sarah Bengle développé en réponse au projet « Raconte-moi Riopelle » autour de la vie et l’œuvre du peintre Jean Paul Riopelle (1923-2002).
D’une part, l’installation invite à découvrir par le dessin et la cartographie une vingtaine d’entretiens de personnes ayant côtoyé Riopelle, que ce soit personnellement ou par son œuvre. En tant qu’étudiante chercheure affiliée au COHDS, Sarah Bengle explore ainsi différentes façon d’aborder l’histoire orale par la pensée visuelle.
D’autre part, Sarah présente une réflexion en images sur l’expérience du deuil, créant un dialogue personnel avec le corpus d’entretiens. L’écoute attentive des récits a poussé Sarah à réaliser un pèlerinage à vélo de Montréal à l’Isle-aux-Grues pour réfléchir aux traces laissées par la perte de personnes aimées.

Exhibition: COVID In the House Of Old - November 14 - 24
2023-11-24 | Concordia University LB-1042 (COHDS), 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd O, Montreal
Schedule: see below

In January 2022, historian and COHDS-affiliate Megan Davies launched a travelling and online exhibition “Covid in the House of Old.” At the heart of the exhibition sit eight storytelling chairs. As Megan Davies notes, “three of the seven chairs represent residents who died in care homes, one is held by a support worker who was a nurse in Uganda; another by a resident who left the institution; and the sixth belongs to a woman from the Squamish First Nation in BC who endured a long isolation.” The seventh chair represents an entire facility – the Wikwemikong Nursing Home on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario – capturing the voices of both staff and residents.
An activist historian interested in issues of social justice, Dr. Davies wanted to collect stories “because I knew they would be an engine for social change.” Objects of memory are mounted to the back of each chair, while paper “Valentines,” lovingly created by family and friends, rest on each seat.The website also features a moving podcast and a petition to transform long-term residential careinCanada to prioritize quality of life.
Centred around 7 “chairs” each representing an individual or community’s story, the exhibition includes rich interviews and a “Story Space” that invites visitors to share their stories about COVID-19 in personal care homes as well as their thoughts about the future of long-term care.
COHDS will be hosting the last leg of the exhibition, which has been touring the country since April 30, with bookings in Winnipeg (Manitoba), Saskatoon (Saskatchewan), and Nanaimo (British Columbia) and upcoming stops in Manitoulin Island and Toronto (Ontario).

2023-11-14 17:00 - 20:00 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
With Megan Davies & Others
In January 2022, historian Megan Davies launched the exhibition “Covid in the House of Old.” At the heart of the exhibition – hosted at COHDS and the Acts of Listening Lab this November 14-24 – sit nine storytelling chairs.
As curator Megan Davies notes, “three of the chairs represent residents who died in care homes, one is held by a support worker who was a nurse in Uganda; another by a resident who left the institution; and the sixth belongs to a woman from the Squamish First Nation in BC who endured a long isolation.” The seventh chair represents an entire facility – the Wikwemikong Nursing Home on Manitoulin Island in Northern Ontario – capturing the voices of both staff and residents. Two new chairs have been created as part of the 2023 tour – Kayley’s Chair is held by a young woman who spent nine years in a care home as a teenager and young adult, while the Rainbow chair tells the often-difficult story of 2slgBTQ seniors in residential facilities.

You are cordially invited to join us for Megan’s opening talk “Covid in the House of Old: Storytelling for a Revolution” (17h00-18h00), followed by a vernissage (18h00-20h00).

Where Literature and Oral History Meet | Quand la littérature rencontre l'histoire orale

A Discussion With Professor Ceri Morgan & Copanelists
In 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?

Une discussion avec la professeure Ceri Morgan & panélistes
Lors 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 ?

Book Launch: Small Stories of War: Children, Youth and Conflict in Canada and Beyond (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2023)
2023-10-27 15:00 - 17:00 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
With Barbara Lorenzkowski, Kristine Alexander, and Andrew Burtch
English
Many 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.
Small 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.
You are cordially invited to join the editors and contributors of this collection in the launch of this collection.

Barbara Lorenzkowski is the Lead Co-Director of COHDS and Associate Professor and Associate Chair of History at Concordia University.
Kristine Alexander is Canada Research Chair in Child and Youth Studies and Associate Professor of History at the University of Lethbridge.
Andrew Burtch is the post-1945 historian at the Canadian War Museum and Adjunct Research Professor in Carleton University’s History Department.

Moving-with Anastasis Corporal, a path to implicated witnessing
2023-10-19 17:30 - 19:00 | Online
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). With her presentation, this special issue will be launched. All other contributors are invited to attend, meet, exchange ideas, and celebrate. Sarah’s article thinks through a practice-as-research exploration of facilitating active listening to the testimonies of female victims/survivors in Colombia, bridging a theoretical gap between applied theatre and performance studies by extending the understanding of theatre’s impact in transitional justice contexts beyond visibility to an affective register.

Sarah Ashford Hart  is an applied theatre facilitator/scholar from a Canadian-Venezuelan-American background. Her PhD dissertation analyses affective approaches to facilitating expression/witnessing within Latin American contexts of displacement, enclosure and violence. She is currently an adjunct instructor in the Department of Performing Arts at the Pontifical Javeriana University (Bogotá).

(Pre)Creation Processes: Milo Rau's Tribunals, Political Actions, and Prefigurative Performance
2023-10-05 16:30 - 17:30 | LB 1042.03 (Moonroom), 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
Presented by Lily Climenhaga, PhD
This 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)).
Over 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).
This 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.

Lily 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.

Annual General Assembly
2023-09-22 11:00 - 14:30 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
Keynote: Dr. Stacey Zembrzycki , “Chasing Cancer in Canada’s Nickel Capital” In 2014, Stacey Zembrzycki began to conduct interviews with Sudburians who have long resided in Canada’s nickel capital. Interested in the connections between mining, environmental harm, and health, she did not realize how much cancer would come to dominate those conversations. Both within and beyond these exchanges, she found herself immersed in a sort of historical epidemiology, which sought to isolate patterns and routes of exposure so that she could understand the stories shared with her.

Drawing on one interview she conducted with a long-time resident of Copper Cliff, Mary Giardini Blair, this paper demonstrates how life stories can offer a window into some of the larger forces that shape people’s understandings of the interconnections between environmental toxins and health. Building on this narrative, the paper speaks to the potential oral history holds for not only understanding individual and community health, but also opening up possibilities for interdisciplinary research about bodies and the diseases that wreak havoc on them.

Chasing cancer is long-haul work that requires deep listening in the interview space, a deep understanding of place, and a deep commitment to building and sustaining relationships. Viewing our craft through this lens is the only way that bodies may be given the time and space needed to tell their own stories.

Stacey Zembrzycki is an award-winning oral and public historian of ethnic, immigrant, and refugee experience. Her current SSHRC-funded project, Mining Immigrant Bodies, uses oral history to explore the connections between mining, health, and the environment and their impact on postwar immigrant communities in Sudbury, Canada.

Introduction to Documentary Cinematography for Interviews
2023-09-20 13:00 - 15:00 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
with Magdalena Hutter
In this workshop we’ll take a look at documentary cinematography and its role in capturing interviews. What are some responsible strategies for filming material that will be edited, both when working with video interviews and with audio only? What are the basics of setting up a shot for an interview, considering composition, lighting, and surroundings? What are sight lines and why do they matter?
We’ll analyze some short examples from my own documentary and research-creation practice, discuss approaches to and questions about filming interviews, and try out composing a shot sequence for an interview by using our phones.

Magdalena Hutter is a documentary filmmaker, cinematographer, and photographer. As a HUMA PhD candidate she uses documentary film and movement for research-creation in her project on Fat ScreenDance.

Mapping Memory - Atlases of Rwandan Life Stories
2023-04-28 - 2023-05-18 | Concordia University LB-1042 (COHDS), 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd O, Montreal
From April 28 to may 18, COHDS and the ALLab will host the exhibition “Mapping Memory – Atlases of Rwandan Life Stories“. This exhibition offers an immersion into the world of memory maps. Through the mapping of 21 life stories of Rwandan individuals who left their country of origin to come to Canada, this exhibition transports us from Kigali to Montreal via Bujumbura, Bukavu, Louvain and Ottawa. More than a geographical journey, these original maps invite us to take a moment to listen to these rich and inspiring stories of childhood, family, friendship, exile, genocide and resistance.
Entry is free.

Emotions in Oral History
2023-02-21 12:00 - 14:00 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
with Nadia Hausfather, Ioana Radu, Elise Olmedo and Piyusha Chatterjee
English (Q&A in En/Fr)
Oral history interviews are dialogic conversations between two (and sometimes more) people. Just as looking back and reflecting on one’s past can be an emotional experience, interactions between people also have an affective dimension. How do we attend to our emotions and that of others in oral history research— during interviews and in analysis? This workshop will encourage thinking through emotions as an important part of doing oral history research.
Nadia Hausfather’s work examines the emotional tenor of student activism around the 2012 students’ strike; Ioana Radu’s oral history project with Chisasibi Eeyou attends to emotional wellbeing of communities as an important part of healing and decolonisation; Elise Olmedo has been working on alternative ways of mapping that allow emotions, sensations and affective dimensions of stories to be mapped; and Piyusha Chatterjee’s interviews with buskers brings up emotions and embodied feelings related to urban space that convey marginalisation and displacement in a post-industrial city.

Roundtable: Revisiting COHDS Ethics
2023-02-15 10:00 - 11:30 | LB-1019 (Sunroom), COHDS, 1400 de Maisonneuve Blvd W., Montreal, Québec, Canada
with Anna Sheftel, Aude Maltais-Landry, Catherine Richardson, Indira Chowdhury, Monica Toca and Steven High
moderated by Eliot Perrin
English and French
In the past year, we have received a series of inquiries related to ethics and consent that we think could offer a good opportunity to revisit COHDS’ ethics principles and practices to remain in phase with the needs of our affiliates, of our community partners and of the society at large.
In this context, we would like to mobilize COHDS community to reflect on these evolving ethical principles and practices. As a starting point we have identified a few questions that might help stimulating this conversation:
The signed consent form requirement aims to protect participants, but sometimes act as barriers for marginalized individuals who might not have the academic culture or the required level of literacy to fully understand them. Does insisting on a written, and sometimes complex, consent form undermine our efforts to achieve “shared authority”? What measures can we adopt to acknowledge that academic culture, literacy (and language spoken) varies throughout all communities? How can we move forward on this issue while still maintaining our strong ethical foundation? What protections can we put in place so that participants’ wishes can be respected and maintained over time?
What does “shared authority” mean in the context of emancipatory social movements and anti-colonial struggles? What does it mean to decolonize our ethics protocols and our archives? What do indigenous communities and other cultural groups expect from the archive in terms of ownership, control, access, and sharing of their stories?
To address these questions, we would like to organize a round table and/or a workshop during the year 2022/2023 with the aim of updating and amending COHDS’ statement and principles on ethics. We welcome any suggestions from our affiliates, that might contribute to a collective discussion around these issues.

Cet atelier est le 4ème et dernier de la série Cartographier les récits : Méthodes, outils et pratiques alternatives
This is the fourth and final session of the series of workshops on “Mapping Stories: Alternative Methods, Tools and Practices” organized by the Geomedia Lab at the Center for Oral History and Digital Storytelling (COHDS-CHORN) of Concordia University. This roundtable will be inspired by the conversations and exchanges that will have taken place during the previous three mapping workshops (see Fall 2022 programming for more details). It is meant to expand our thinking about mapping stories. It will begin with a synthesis of the ethical, technological, methodological and conceptual questions raised during the workshops, before discussing intersections, complementarities and limits of each of the mapping methods/tools presented. Participants will then be invited to share ideas, experiences and personal reflections related to any aspects of the mapping of stories, particularly in an oral history context.
