Thursday Evening Event Series
The Thursday Evening Event Series is a collection of events hosted by OHMA on various themes related to oral history. Come join us on Thursdays for free, public events.
This Season’s Events: ReMemory: Experiments in Listening, Authorship and Knowledge-Keeping
In this series, we highlight the work of artists, scholars, and knowledge-keepers whose works attend to what Toni Morrison describes as the “pitched battle between remembering and forgetting.” (Morrison 2019) The reparative labor of re-memory invites us to recognize the ways that we are intimately bound up with undocumented or under-documented histories and the urgent need for "reconstituting and recollecting a usable past.” Kenyan author and scholar Ngũgĩ Wa Thiong’o, whose work seeks to redress the historical amnesia and “dismemberment” of the colonial enterprise, sees memory as “the site of dreams, and of desire, is thus crucial to the construction of our being.”
Events will take place on Thursday evenings (ET) from 6-7:00PM and will be either virtual and in-person.
