Mira Samonig: Remembering ourselves live
Lectures of Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava.
Imagining is dearly entangled with things. It sifts through concealed knowledge, unsettles chronology and probes the underlying layers of social, cultural and political realities. It is attached to things and I am attached to it. In this lecture, I trace moments where things become materially operative before they become remembered.
The lecture will be held in English language.
