SUMMARY:Archival Collective Counter-Imagination\, Part 1: The Lonely Trees by Rojava Film Commune
DESCRIPTION:CHRA is hosting a screening and discussion on Monday\, March 27\, 5pm\, at Weis Cinema\, as part of Archival Collective Counter–Imagination\, a two-part program curated by art historian and current CHRA Fellow Lara Fresko Madra. \nThe event will include a screening of The Lonely Trees by the Rojava Film Commune [Komîna Fîlm a Rojava]\, with an introduction and discussion with Lara Fresko Madra and Thomas Keenan. The Lonely Trees (2017\, 43 min) is a documentary about the “dengbej\,” who carry the heritage of music\, poetry\, and storytelling in the semi-autonomous region of Rojava.  \nArchives are often thought of in terms of possession belonging to a family\, organization\, or country. Calls for the decolonization of museums have been leading the charge in envisioning images\, objects\, and archives as traces of colonial dispossession. Brushing the archive against the grain\, it is possible to listen to its absences.  \nArchival Collective Counter–Imagination brings together two collective endeavors: The Rojava Film Commune based in northern Syria and the Material Aesthetic Research Collective from Turkey and its diasporas think through archives not only in who they belong to\, but also how they generate a sense of belonging. In engaging the moving image as a site of negotiation and building collectivity these endeavors are concerned with how they create and re-create past and future community. This program explores the two group’s modes of social organization around the moving image that cross and\, at times\, defy the horizon of the nation-state.
