DESCRIPTION:Witnessing—as a verb—always combines the aural and the ocular. Bearing witness\, in its common understanding\, usually entails recounting something heard or seen. Witnessing also holds religious and legal connotations. These resonate with legal processes of ‘bearing witness’ and Christian evangelizing\, and to being ‘called on’ by a higher lawful or spiritual order. If these legal and religious dimensions invoke the dutiful aspect of witnessing\, they do not necessarily imply an engaged praxis. When connected to care however\, understandings of ‘witnessing’ are further fleshed out and given more intention. Witnessing as care can only be intentional and in relation with that or those which are cared for.      For this Inward Outward session\, we invite four speakers who directly engage with witnessing as an embodied practice and relational ethos to present their work and engage in a discussion. Amade Aouatef M’charek\, is Professor of Anthropology of Science at the University of Amsterdam. Her research interests are in forensics\, forensic anthropology and race\, with a particular focus on the social aspects of various biomedical technologies and practices. Daniela Agostinho is Assistant Professor at Aarhus University\, where she probes the aesthetics and politics of colonial archives in her work on witnessing and archiving war\, and in her cultural studies of digital and emerging technologies. Edine Célestin is a photojournalist and human rights activist whose recent book is Kazal - The Memories Of Kazal\, A Photographic Approach\, published with André Frère Éditions. Yvonne Ng is Senior Program Manager of Archives  at WITNESS\, an organization that helps people use video and technology to protect and defend human rights globally. In conversation with Amade\, Daniela\, Edine and Yvonne\, we explore what an embodied practice of witnessing reveals and demands of our archival work. We ask\, among other things\, when is archival evidence of colonial violence eviden
