INFORMATION
In the context of the exhibition at OBORO and the symposium at UQAM, Archive Alexandre von Humboldt presents an evening of recent books and films by its international guests. From a variety of perspectives, both in writing and in images, the authors address questions of memory, history and territory, with a critical accent, but also with irony.
Program:
5:00 pm: Books presentation
Over the past decade, new debates on the meaning of the historical past and its aesthetic and political reading in the present have been conducted from a variety of disciplines and research practices. A quarrel of meaning, but also a possible agentivity, a horizon of transformation.
Moderated by Fabiano Kueva, artist.
