Event Spotlight: "Processes of Memory: Digital Practices & Re-Membering Histories"

Join us on February 12th as Charlotte Kent moderates an engaging discussion at the College Art Association featuring prominent artists and scholars, including Amelia Winger Bearskin, Minne Atairu, Nathaniel Stern, and Sean Fader The panel will explore how digital tools can reshape our understanding of memory, memorialization, and historical narratives.

Each panelist will present on projects that critically examine the ways in which digital technologies, often celebrated for their archival and preservational qualities, intersect with socio-political dynamics, environmental concerns, and cultural erasures. By reimagining how memory is conveyed and reinterpreted through digital mediums, the conversation will highlight how technological practices can both challenge and expand our perspectives on the past, present, and future. Topics will include e-waste, queer histories, spiritual practices, and cultural heritage, offering fresh insights into how digital tools can offer alternative ways to remember and reconstruct histories.

This conversation promises to inspire a deeper reflection on how memory and history are constructed and contested in the digital age.
