Collected Memory

Item

Title
Collected Memory
Description
This is a project of the present, projecting the past.

Cities grow, adapt, die and resurge. Over the course of their evolution, they become possessors of juxtaposing narratives — those stemming from privileged voices against other, softer, less audible tales. What have we forgotten in the years — decades, centuries — of inhabiting these cities? Where are the sites of near-forgotten narratives or of memories willfully repressed?

My thesis seeks to present the totality of a city through its paradoxical and contested histories. This project dedicates a space to remember and memorialize those subjugated narratives that linger imperceptibly along the periphery of our collective memory.
