Recollections
Organized by Thuong Hoai tran & Maddie May
It all started when…
The word Recollection is described as “the action or faculty of remembering something. A thing recollected; a memory.” Our memories make up who we are - they serve as a means for us to recall our lived experiences. Persisting over time, they serve as an emotional impression in our brains; a painful remembrance, a joyful occasion, or perhaps a useless intrusion. We recall our memories when we encounter an object, recognize a scent, or overhear a sound. We rewind and replay this feeling, while working through the distortion of time to preserve and clarify, or forget altogether.
Memories exist as a convergence of images, sites, sounds, and sensations. They take the form of specific objects, familial histories, or monumental moments. How do we explain an impression, a vague feeling, of memories? How do our recollections shape who we are and how can they drive us to seek individual and collective understanding?
Theme: Recollections; points of departure could be family heirlooms, domestic spaces, significant objects, handwritten letters, photographs, or anything inspired by the writing above.
