Hunting down a theory on monuments: memorials, trauma and healing
Ana Milosevic is known by the academic community as 'the Monument Hunter.' She is Post-Doctoral Researcher at the Leuven Institute of Criminology (LINC) at the KU Leuven Faculty of Law. Her current research takes a bird's eye view on a wide variety of roles assigned to memorialization processes. It zooms in on the post-terrorist memorialization in Europe to critically examine its effectiveness for the victims, their families and survivors.
The third in Art History & Cultural Practices Research Seminar series 2021-2022 Semester 1: Cultural recovery - researching the arts & heritage in times of crisis
How does the arts respond to traumatic events? What kinds of social care and solace can artworks and the culture institutions that commission and exhibit them offer? And how have artists and arts workers found their own pathways for respite and recovery from the impacts of the coronavirus pandemic?
This seminar series of international guest speakers will explore these questions and more through multidisciplinary lenses. Join us on Wednesday afternoons on the following dates:
3rd November, 4.30pm Dr Roaa Ali, University of Manchester - Diversity in Creative and Cultural Industries at the intersection of Covid and Black Lives Matter
