Co-sponsored by the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling and Concordia University\u2019s Department of History<\/p>\n

9h00 – 16h00<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Workshop: Push Play, A Participatory Workshop on Oral History and Play (Limited spaces)<\/b><\/p>\n

16h00 – 17h30<\/p>\n

Push Play<\/em>\u00a0is an experiential workshop that invites participants to rethink assumptions about speech, narrative, and memory embedded in oral history practice. Through play-based, theatrical, and sensory exercises, the workshop asks: What is the most open invitation we can offer someone to share their experience of being in the world? And what conditions make that kind of sharing possible? Participants will engage in embodied memory work, sensory exploration, improvisation, and collective scene-making to explore how the body listens, remembers, and communicates\u2014including beyond or before spoken language. Rather than privileging stories or linear narration,\u00a0Push Play<\/em>\u00a0emphasizes presence, process, and relational attention. Designed for oral historians, educators, and artists, this workshop is a shared space for experimenting with and thinking together about how to create more inclusive and expansive approaches to memory work. Participants will collectively reflect on how these practices might inform their interviews, classrooms, archives, and community-based projects.<\/p>\n

The Kitchen Table Collective (KTC)<\/span><\/b><\/strong> is an online network, founded by Anna Sheftel and Stacey Zembrzycki, whose members include leading scholars, artists, activists, and independent practitioners from around the world. Since 2023, the group has met virtually eight times a year to discuss members\u2019 work, developments in the field of oral history, and how we are collectively navigating the politics of our institutions, communities, and everyday lives. We are pleased to now open up this generative space to COHDS community members, by inviting you to attend the collective\u2019s first in-person meeting: \u201cListening in the Age of Polycrisis.\u201d This symposium\u00a0<\/i>asks how oral historians ought to adapt to the shifting realities and crises of our current moment to not just strengthen the field, but think through what our work may offer our troubled world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please join us for the symposium\u2019s\u00a0opening plenary at the Centre des m\u00e9moires montr\u00e9alaises (MEM) on Thursday, June 11 and a full day of talks and workshops at the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling on Friday, June 12, all of which will focus on what it means to listen right now.<\/p>\n
