Some Memory Prevails
Summary
Some Memory Prevails is a material contemplation of the fragmented reality of inherited memory that are transferred intergenerationally between migrated and marginalised bodies. The work began as a reflection on Blackiston, Silva & Weiss’s 2008 experiment on memory retention across pupal-to-adulthood metamorphosis in Lepidoptera.
Supported by
The work is produced during my Postdoctoral Fellowship in design, craft and society with a focus on migration, Centre on Global Migration, University of Gothenburg.
