The other post memory. Art for Truth, Justice, and Reparation from the Perspective of Descendants of Perpetrators (Preliminary Reflections)

Abstract

The memories of people who suffered massive state violence have been hijacked. They are recovered through costly fragments of disconnected stories and confused memories, aimlessly navigating between amnesic and displaced witnesses, silent threats, ghosts of the disappeared, and orphaned documents. Talking about the memory places us in a constant dialogue between past and present, like a reflection in water or an echo that tells us who we are and want to be as humanity.
