Memory and Oblivion

Memory and Oblivion is a long-term research project on ideology, memory and monuments. The project will look at different case studies around the world that epitomize the fight against the specter of fascism, and the demand of a renewed relation between remembering and forgetting.

Monument

In the autumn of 2020, Het Nieuwe Instituut embarks on an editorial project, lecture and film series organised in collaboration with e-flux Architecture, Monument. The project investigates how monuments have - once again - come to play a pivotal role in mobilising and rearticulating struggles for recognition. The series features essays by Arna Mačkić, Wayne Modest, Philipp Oswalt, Jorge Otero-Pailos, Robert Jan van Pelt, Valentina Rozas-Krause, and Mabel O. Wilson, with videos by Vasyl Cherepanyn, Manuel Correa, Quinsy Gario, Dima Srouji, The Black Archives, Milica Tomić, and Sumayya Vally.
