DESCRIPTION:Colloquially\, ‘witnessing’ and ‘caring’ are often deployed with intentionality: to fix\, better\, or remedy what is perceived to need attention. Yet\, within the scope of this Inward Outward edition\, we offer a space to think beyond a logic of repair - or the temptation to offer a ‘best practice’ approach to questions of archives and coloniality. Rather\, we aim to work through what Witnessing/Care might look like in a framework of ‘response-ability’ (as per Thomas 2019) to the protracted temporalities of coloniality.

Rather\, our speakers’ engagement with archival practice\, each in their own way\, are vested in answering and reacting to the current moment whilst imagining alternative possibilities and materialities for the future. The invited speakers of the ‘moving beyond repair’ session thus offer forms of documenting and archiving as avenues for dreaming otherwise.    For this discussion we have invited Aylin Kuryel\, an artist\, documentary filmmaker and Assistant Professor in Literary and Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam who will present her current research on dreams as archives. Artist Noor Abuarafeh will share her reflections on how to trouble the museal and archival drive to ‘preserve’ in ways that instantiate exclusionary historical narratives. We engage with Netherlands-based Sites of Memory who create site specific performances about the 'hidden' stories about the history of slavery and colonialism in The Netherlands and former colonized areas. Sites of Memory works with a collective of multidisciplinary artists who reframe history through music\, poetry\, dance\, visual art and theater. Founders Jennifer Tosch and Katy Streek will be present to discuss the work\, with a performance by Jörgen “UNOM” Gario of the artist collective of
