“Framing/Re-Framing Loss and Permanence: Absent Presence”
Our first cross-disciplinary colloquium in the "Framing/Re-Framing Loss and Permanence" series will examine the personal and methodological lenses that shape our reception of artistic expressions of loss. Three memorial installations will form the backdrop to our discussion of 'Absent Presence': the ‘Lynching Memorial’ in Alabama, USA (National Memorial for Peace and Justice), the ‘Confiscated Shoes’ installation at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and the Keiskamma Altarpiece in South Africa (Keiskamma Trust).
