Memory Factory

Just For The Record presents a new event!

edit

An event and workshop in collaboration with La Bellone, that offers a feminist perspective into the topic of collective memory, both in our everyday life and online. Who is remembered and what shapes our perception of society before and now? We will be examining the field of performing arts and its representatives for answers, trying to map out this field by inspecting both the hive-mind of the participants and the online platform of Wikipedia. Guest speaker Caroline Godart will present a reflection on the Internet, Western culture, and the forgetting of women.

To travel further into the performing arts memory, we will for this event to dive into La Bellone's online documentation center and bring back memories to the Wikipedia's platform.

Free event, open to all, with food and drinks provided! Send us an email at info[at]justfortherecord.space to book a place + get more info! Bring your laptop.
