Festival & Conference: Memorimage
Festival Memorimage: Films of Today with Images of Yesterday is a competitive international film festival targeting films that use archival footage.
Memorimage is an innovative initiative that promotes the conservation and restoration of our audiovisual heritage. An event that asserts the importance of the image in the makeup of the individual and collective memory.
For this year’s celebration, Memorimage presents a programme that places priority on quality and seeks out the most recent film productions that include the use of archival footage. The festival schedule also features a number of additional activities for sector professionals, students and the general community, making Memorimage a strategic point of encounter to learn about and debate on the use of archival footage.

UNFIXED symposium and workshop
On November 15 and 16 Unfixed organises a symposium and workshop on Photography and postcolonial perspectives in contemporary art which will explore photography’s relationship to changing notions of cultural histories, identities and representations. The symposium and workshop will take place in The Center for Contemporary Art in Dordrecht (The Netherlands). Parallel to the symposium there is an exhibition of a group of six international artists who re-construct and re-contextualize fixed versions of photographic history through their installations, found and vernacular images, sculpture, text and video. Participating are artists Charif Benhelima (BE 1967), Otobong Nkanga (FR 1974), Keith Piper (UK 1960), Naro Snackey (NL 1980), Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie (USA 1954) and Hank Willis Thomas (USA 1976). The artists will be present at the symposium together with Pamela Pattynama, Professor of Colonial and Postcolonial Literature and Cultural History (University of Amsterdam) and art historian and critic Kobena Mercer.
