Place: the Palestinian Museum

This symposium examines the relationship between archive and power, and between archive and the people. What is the relationship between archive, power, and colonial hegemony? Why is so much importance lent to archiving? Do we archive that which is living, or that which is dead? Does archiving signify the death of things and their departure from the realm of the living? How do we archive in the Palestinian context, in the absence of a state? How can the archive be used as a tool of power and resistance? What is the relationship between archive and art?

The lecture will be in English. Simultaneous translation is available.
