Verband
This one-day conference explores the contributions of artists and scholars working with archives (and their silences) on public memory and history writing.
By taking the exhibition "Travelling Back: reframing a Munich expedition to Brazil in the 19th century" (Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, 9 February - 5 April 2024) as a starting point, it draws on concepts such as Saidiya Hartman‘s ‘critical fabulation’ to inquire about fiction and visual imagery as means of knowledge production about past and present.
