MEMORY STUDIES ASSOCIATION 7th ANNUAL CONFERENCE

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventParticipation in conference

Description

At the conference I gave a presentation entitled 'Making memories of an unfolding war: Virtuality and the emerging assemblage of the Ukrainian Meta History: Museum of War'. The talk focused on the virtual museum and how it aspires to be an active, engaging, and even provoking agent in the war. I explored the ways the museum is evoking 'instant memories' to make war virtually tangible and bring it closer.

The overarching theme of the Memory Studies Association Seventh Annual Conference is “Communities and Change”, and we would like to invite you to join us in discussions around heritage, the post-industrial, public memory, migration, social justice and human rights, exploring connections between local, national and transnational memories. While the conference offers the opportunity to debate all aspects of memory studies, its location in the North East of England gives us a unique perspective into a region historically shaped by an ongoing engagement with memory and reinvention.
