SeMA AA 2024 Research Exchange
Lost, but Activating
The SeMA AA hosts the 2024 Research Exchange Program, Lost, but Activating focusing on archiving and activism. Taking place on October 31, this discursive program will explore practices that archive forgotten events, marginalized histories, and communities. Through the themes of ‘Solidarity’, ‘History’, and ‘Discourse’, participants will discuss how these efforts promote activism, memory, and knowledge production, while examining the relationships between these layers. Key presentations will be shared on the Digital Art Archive (semal.seoul.go.kr/semaaa) and in a forthcoming publication.
