Individuals, nation-states, institutions, and descendants of survivors, among other groups, do memory work dedicated to people who have faced annihilation, oppression, and other events. In most of these cases, it is a later generation, and always at a later time, i.e., post-event, engaging with the history and memory of the preceding generations that were affected by the event. While tremendous research and analysis exists on the different forms of memorials representing events that are now history, this paper examines how individuals and groups express and memorialise when events are not only in the past but a future possibility.
As more and more vulnerable populations are identified as being under the threat of annihilation due to state actions, climate change, and dominant group oppression, among other factors, preactive memory work with its emphasis on future-oriented memorialising becomes critical for those affected, as a means of exercising visibility, agency, and power with regard to memory.
Join us for a presentation by Anthony Thottungal, a design strategist, whose area of research is memory-making in the present for the future.
