SUMMARY:Book Launch: REMNANTS and What Remains: Moments from a Life Among Holocaust Survivors
DESCRIPTION:The event will take place in person at the University of Michigan-Deaborn’s James C. Renick University Center\, Kochoff Hall C\, and online via zoom. \n  \nYou are warmly invited to a special book launch celebrating REMNANTS and What Remains: Moments from a Life Among Holocaust Survivors\, the latest publication by Henry « Hank » Greenspan. The event will take place in person and online on Sunday\, October 5\, 2025\, from 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. and it will be hosted by Dr. Jamie L. Wraight\, Director of the Voice/Vision Archive. \nThis powerful volume traces the personal and creative journey of Henry « Hank » Greenspan\, shaped by five decades of deepening relationships with Holocaust survivors. At its heart is the first-ever print publication of REMNANTS\, Greenspan’s haunting and widely performed play that brings to life poignant\, often heart-wrenching moments of survival and memory. Performed on more than 300 stages around the world\, REMNANTS captures the raw essence of what survivors endured—and how they continue to live with those experiences. \nIn the companion piece\, What Remains\, Greenspan reflects on the origins of the play\, the profound connections he forged with survivors\, and the shared grief over the loss of a world—and of those who once told its stories. Written in a lyrical\, spoken-word style\, this memoir offers a compelling new lens into Greenspan’s pioneering contributions to Holocaust studies\, oral history\, and the transformative power of theater. The book is dedicated to Sid Bolkosky\, founder of The Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive at UM-Dearborn \n  \nThe program will feature reflections from three of Greenspan’s distinguished colleagues and collaborators—renowned Holocaust scholars and educators: \n· Professor John K. Roth\, Emeritus Professor\, Claremont McKenna College \n· Professor Malin Thor Tureby\, Professor of History\, Malmö University\, Sweden \n· Dr. Christine Schmidt\, Deputy Director\, The Wiener Library\, London\, and former student of Professor Bolkosky \n  \nHenry Greenspan will present a short performance and recitation from the book. In keeping with the spirit of his and Professor Bolkosky’s relationships with survivors\, there will be ample time for conversation and audience engagement. \n  \nHenry (Hank) Greenspan is a psychologist\, oral historian\, and playwright based at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Since the 1970s\, he has conducted in-depth\, ongoing interviews with Holocaust survivors—an approach that reveals the evolving nature of memory and testimony over time. His work departs from one-time testimonies\, instead drawing on sustained relationships and layered conversations spanning months\, years\, and even decades. \nAn accomplished performer\, Greenspan was a finalist for the 2022 Alvin Epstein Memorial Prize for Solo Performance. He has performed REMNANTS across North America\, as well as in Europe and Israel. He currently leads online seminars and workshops focused on survivor narratives and the complexities of interpreting oral history. \n  \nRegistration: \nFor in-person attendance please RSVP to jwraight@umich.edu \nFor online attendance registration is required through this link

SUMMARY:Listening as Political Act
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive performance-workshop\, Brett Davidson explores listening not just as a personal practice\, but as a vital political act. Combining elements of storytelling\, theory\, dialogue\, audio\, and visual imagery\, the session invites participants to reflect on the ways listening shapes democracy\, public life\, and our collective ability to imagine change.  \nDrawing from his extensive experience in narrative strategy\, media\, and social justice\, Davidson frames listening as a tool for transformation—one that can challenge dominant narratives\, create space for marginalized voices\, and foster deeper connections across difference. Participants will be invited to engage actively\, considering how listening can become an ethical and creative practice in their own work\, studies\, and communities.  \nAs a work in progress\, the session opens a space for experimentation and exchange\, encouraging those present to co-create meaning around the political and artistic potential of listening.  \n  \nBrett Davidson is founder and principal at Wingseed LLC\, where he supports social justice changemakers around the world to amplify their impact. Brett also serves as Lead of Narrative Field-Building with IRIS\, the International Resource for Impact and Storytelling. Previously he was director of Media and Narratives at the Open Society Public Health Program\, where he led an international team focused on changing long-held social narratives impacting health equity. Prior to joining Open Society in 2010\, Davidson was a media consultant to civil society organizations in Southern and Eastern Africa. He previously served as program manager at the South African democracy institute Idasa\, where he helped community radio stations develop participatory news and current affairs programming. Before that\, he worked as a presenter and producer in radio current affairs at the South African Broadcasting Corporation\, and in collaboration with the BBC. Brett has an MA in Journalism and Media Studies from Rhodes University and an MA in Individualized Study from NYU’s Gallatin School.  \n  \nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! \nThis is an online event. \nTo attend\, please register here. \nFor any questions\, please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.

SUMMARY:Photographing Change: Reform and Photography in 1960s Little Burgundy
DESCRIPTION:Walking tour participants will meet at the Union United Church at 3007 Rue Delisle\, Montréal\, QC H4C 1M8 at 2:55 pm \n“Photographing Change: Reform and Photography in 1960s Little Burgundy” is a walking tour which invites guests to learn about and engage in discussion on the expropriation photos of Little Burgundy. Taken throughout the 1960s\, these photos show the expropriated homes which were destroyed in the building of the Ville-Marie Expressway and the development of the neighbourhood. Haunting and in some ways violent\, the photos depict the homes of Little Burgundy residents of the 1960s\, depicting the intrusion of city workers in their private domestic lives. Engaging with the story of the historically black neighbourhood and theories of photography\, participants will be invited to discuss the photos and critically examine the role of photography in the expropriation process. Oral history interviews from the COHDS archives are used to expand the image of the neighbourhood depicted in these photographs. We’ll hear the words of community members as we walk through the Little Burgundy today. \nSerafina Swandel  is an undergraduate student in Art History at Concordia University. As a student affiliate with COHDS\, her research interests center around the intersections of oral history and craft and the way in which oral history can illuminate craft practices and relationships forged by craft. She is interested in a study of visual and material cultures that is socially and historically informed. \n  \nPhoto description: Man sitting at kitchen table caught in photo.

SUMMARY:The Artist’s Interview
DESCRIPTION:This workshop with artist and researcher Lucia Farinatti invites participants to explore the interview as both a method of research and a form of artistic and critical practice. Through collective listening\, transcription\, and discussion\, the session examines how oral history\, sound archives\, and curatorial approaches can open new ways of engaging with voices\, memory\, and experience.  \nParticipants will experiment with different modes of transcription—from verbatim to more interpretative and experimental approaches—highlighting how writing can respond not only to words\, but also to rhythm\, affect\, and embodied presence. The focus is on listening as an active\, creative act\, and on transcription as a form of art writing that captures the emotional and sensory dimensions of language.  \nThe event offers a space to reflect on how interviews can become sites of encounter\, translation\, and creation\, expanding the possibilities of research and artistic practice. \n  \nLucia Farinati is an Associate Lecturer in Art History at Kingston University\, activist\, and independent curator. Her research focuses on dialogic practices and methodologies investigating the role of listening at the intersection of art and activism\, the history of the artist interview\, and performativity in the context of sound and feminist archives. She holds a PhD from Kingston University (2020) on Audio Arts magazine. Recent activities include organising The Listening Academy (London\, 2021-22)\, the conference Regenerative Listening (2023)\, and co-founding the feminist collective Autocoscienza Writing Group (2022). She is co-author of ‘The Force of Listening’ (2017)\, ‘Training for Exploitation?’ (2017)\, and ‘Theorising the Artist Interview’ (2025).  \n  \n\nREGISTRATION \nPlease note that all our events are free and open to all\, but you need to register! \nThis is an online event. \nTo attend\, please register here. \nFor any questions\, please contact cohds.chorn@concordia.ca \n  \nCOHDS/ALLAB is located on unceded Kanien’kehá:ka territory\, in Tiohtiá:ke/Montreal.
