Curated by Anna Goetz
Available to stream through February 7, 2022

Exploring how political narratives produced by imperialism often have far-reaching and multi-layered effects on subjects and their realities, the videos by 5 artists reflect on how events long passed continue to shape minds, bodies, and individual and intergenerational experiences. Through montage, the artists reinterpret official historiography by juxtaposing and interweaving documentary archival material with personal accounts. They reveal “foundational fictions” and reflect on trauma as a ghostly sense of being haunted.
