Description: Webinar organised by CILIP CDEG:
“The fight against erasure is a critical effort to preserve the identities, narratives, and histories of marginalized communities. This talk explores two interconnected aspects of this struggle: the evolving dynamics between ‘modern’ and ‘traditional’ archiving and the challenges they face in our time especially when it comes to the role of archiving as protector of identity and collector of the memory in our modern time.
Have you ever stopped to wonder what happens to archives all along the history till our day? Who decides what gets remembered and what disappears into the void? Who controls the archive, and whose narratives are given priority in shaping collective memory? These are fundamental questions that underline the power dynamics embedded in archiving, as well as the systemic biases that can perpetuate erasure.”
