Publication of the 2020 Inward Outward Symposium
Critical Archival Engagements with Sounds and Films of Coloniality
On the 24th and 25th of January 2020, the first edition of the Inward Outward symposium took place at the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Initiated between the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies (KITLV) and Sound and Vision, and with the support of the Research Center for Material Culture (RCMC), Inward Outward brought together archival practitioners, artists, academics, and researchers to explore the status of moving image and sound archives as they intertwine with questions of coloniality, identity and race.
This publication collects different contributions from the speakers of Inward Outward that reiterate and reflect on the presentations that took place during the symposium; they interrogate how we might situate ourselves in relation to the materials we work with, and the locations we work from. The essays gathered thus continue some of the significant conversation threads started at Sound and Vision, but are by no means exhaustive of the rich exchanges that took place during the event or in the days that followed.

Sound and vision are critical to my multi-sensorial archival methodology and to my praxis of storytelling.
