A lecture by Dr. Colin Sterling, Assistant Professor of Memory and Museums, University of Amsterdamas part of lecture series EXPLORING THE IN-BETWEEN: HAUNTING GHOSTS, FANTASIES, EMOTIONS, MEMORY AND MEMES
hosted by Charles Rouleau (project coordinator at Casino Display)
Spectres, ghosts and phantoms have occupied a central place in artistic practice for some time now. Critical engagements with memory and history routinely evoke the haunted qualities of contemporary life to document the lingering effects of – for example – colonialism, conflict and trauma. At the same time, heritage practice is often accused of 'exorcising' ghosts in pursuit of a clichéd view of the past.
This talk will investigate some of the different ways in which heritage and the arts might reckon with the in-between worlds of the ghostly and the spectral in pursuit of more just futures.
