<HOME> encounter, remixing memories in transit

Encounter
Centro de las Artes de Sevilla. Public activities from 17:30h

We are living in a world where different types of borders are co-existing. Digital culture is part of the hope for a world without boundaries. However, people lack the right to move freely through different countries, thus the difference between migrants and non-migrants is created.

HOME - Remixing memories in transit is the final Encounter (an interdisciplinary seminar based on the methodologies of collective intelligence) of Remapping Europe. Remapping Europe is a two-year project organised by Doc Next Network and ECF with EU Culture Programme funding. Taking place across four European countries, it involves more than 50 multi-media creators, curators and educators, sharing migrant European, Asian, African and Latin American backgrounds. They are working to connect new dots on the map, challenge existing myths, deconstruct and remix prevailing imagery, and present alternative perspectives on Europe.

HOME as a concept means different things. HOME as a place where hospitality works as a technology; hospitality as the capacity for empathy and as a host for ideas by others. HOME as a place where no one feels as the other, the stranger, the migrant, the different one, the foreigner. HOME as a place to share lots of invisible memories from migrants which are crucial to understand a lot of cultural and social mutations. HOME as a place to represent the non visible in mainstream media. HOME as an open web code where we can define what page of our history we want to write. HOME as the place you come back to when the game is over in your video game. HOME because “Home is wherever I’m with you”.

The main axis of Home - Remixing memories in transit is the combination between mainstream memories and memories in transit. In the former, we have the hegemonic stories, power, colonialism, Europe as a fortress, migrants as problems, official history represented by the official archives. In the latter, we have the difference, the idea of hacking the powers, post-colonialism, mutual support networks, oral literature, invisible commons, the unknown story of personal archives. HOME - Remixing memories in transit will have working sessions (with a previous subscription) and public sessions.

Schedule:

  • Day One (April 9): Hacking the Veil . The imagery on migrants is weaved by hundreds of thousands of images that are constantly renewed but also reproduced repetitively in a loop. A sticky web that gradually thickens till it forms a dense veil of images, conditioning what we see and how we look at things, taking control of our direct experience. This mainstream veil can be hacked and subverted by using the remix as a useful tool to enhance the value of personal memories that question the official and dominant memories. Working session - 10:00 to 14:00 / Public session: the Audiovisual Source Code by Abu Ali - 17:30 to 19:00
  • Day Two (April 10th): The domestic issue is political . Migrant women are usually who take care of domestic tasks. This means that migrant women are supporting the economic system of European countries. However, they suffer at the same time their condition as migrants and women. Working session - 10:00 to 14:00/ Public session: the Audiovisual Source Code by Ayşe Akalın - 17:30 to 19:00
  • Day Three (April 11): Autonomous imageries . As a consequence of the hacking of mainstream imagery and through the construction of new imageries: How can we tell stories that respect migrants’ freedom and autonomy? How would these new independent imageries be? Working session - 10:00 to 14:00/ Public session: the Audiovisual Source Code by Mamadou Kheraba Drame and Carlos Delclós - 17:30 to 19:00
