Laboratory for Oral History and Experimental Media Series: Voices of the Nakba

Palestinians have drawn extensively on personal testimony and visual evidence to document collective experiences of dispossession and violence that challenge hegemonic narratives. In this meeting, we will explore the subversive uses of memory, storytelling, and oral history since the Nakba, or “catastrophe,” of 1948, to resist ongoing processes of erasure.

About This Series

This event is part of the
Laboratory for Oral History and Experimental Media Spring 2024 series. 

This new series of monthly institute-wide meetings begins a collective exploration of the theory and practice of oral history and ethnography as powerful, multimodal research methods for recovering perspectives and experiences that are often absent from traditional archives. Together, we will engage with diverse forms of research and communication across a range of media and visit local sites of interest.
