Artistic presentation “Between Personal Chronicles and Collective Memory: Artistic Perspectives on Memory, Oral History and Resistance from the Latin American Diaspora in Berlin.”
13 October 2022, 13.30 h (Bogotá), 20.30 h (Berlin), via Zoom
Participants: Katerina Valdivia Bruch, Daniela Lehmann Carrasco and María Linares
The event is part of the programme of the First Meeting of the Latin American Regional Group of the Memory Studies Association, held in Bogotá (in presence and online).
In this talk, Katerina Valdivia Bruch will speak about what inspired her to develop the exhibition Between Personal Chronicles and Collective Memory, and included a brief introduction to the exhibition.
The talk will continue with the participation of the artist Daniela Lehmann Carrasco, who will present her long term project on her family history, based on autoethnographic walks. Through these walks, the artist reflects on her family's memories and migrations (from Germany to Chile and from Chile to Germany) in two historical periods, the Second World War and the Pinochet dictatorship.
Afterwards, the artist María Linares will give an introduction of RENOMBREMOS EL 12 DE OCTUBRE, a participatory project that was created with the idea of giving a new name to the “Day of the Race” in Colombia. The project started in 2019, before the name of this commemorative day was changed in Colombia in 2021.
