About
"Rebellious Memories: Expanded Archives and Technologies in the Americas"
Rebellious Memories aims to delineate the ethical challenges and implications communities face when collectivizing memories of violence through digital technologies. A noteworthy feature of this book is its dedication to survivors of violence. Across continental geographies, I analyze the lessons and challenges faced by community initiatives that are invested in gathering documentation and developing new forms of expressing their memories in pursuit of truth, justice and transformation. Subsequently, I propose decolonial and de-patriarchal practice-based research and design principles as strategies for designing platforms, digital experiences and spaces for archiving and sharing community memories that reduce harms, build accountability and safety with justice-seeking community organizations.
