Transmitting Memory

Transmitting Memory

How do we preserve memory amidst archival and memorial erasure? What tools can we use to push against the forgetfulness that follows with this erasure? Can a stranger’s photo become a projection of subjective memory - a tool of remembrance?

There are living memories within each of us. Memory requires activation. If a memory is rarely recalled, its corresponding synapses will slowly weaken and eventually cause the memory to disappear.

We invite you to transmit a memory of yours, and in doing so, shape collective memory.

What memory do you wish to pass on?
