INTERNATIONAL VIDEO ART FESTIVAL “NOW&AFTER’14â€
under the motto “MEMORY MIGRATIONâ€
SUBMISSION – http://now-after.org/eng/zayavka.php?o=1
The forth edition of “NOW&AFTER†will take place from 2 to 30 of April 2014 at the State Museum of GULAG. www.gmig.ru
Memory is a special human ability to accumulate the past and to keep it for the present and future, overcoming the oblivion. We suggest the artists to explore memory as a flexible structure that is migrating in time and space from person to person, from generation to generation, between social groups and nations, between cities and continents, between virtual and real world.
Which memory features are important for us?
Memory as a process, memory in evolution, memory in search.
Lost memory, returned memory.
Lapses of the memory and continuous chain of memories.
Memory as a mechanism of past actualization.
Autobiographic memory and collective memory.
Memories about things that never happened and those that are only going to happen.
Memory as a premonition of unpredictable future and as a precursor of eternal present.
Memory as a stop in time and a leap in time.
Memory in the virtual space.
The site of memory and memory of the site.
Memory of the loss and the loss of memory.
In 2014 “Now&After” festival is being held at the State Museum of GULAG – a place that has accumulated the memories of Stalin’s punitive system. In the area of our special interest there is a traumatic memory: reliving and rethinking of the historical traumas, especially those related to the history of GULAG.
Founding director and curator of “Now & After” is Marina Fomenko.
