SUMMARY:Archival Collective Counter-Imagination\, Part 2: Set Off [Gitmek] and The Material Aesthetic Research Collective
DESCRIPTION:CHRA is hosting a screening and discussion on Monday\, April 3\, 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 Set Off [Gitmek] by Mustafa Emin Büyükcoşkun of The Material Aesthetic Research Collective [Maddi Estetik Araştırma Kolektifi]\, with a discussion with director Mustafa Emin Büyükcoşkun and Lara Fresko Madra. \nSet Off [Gitmek] (2019\, 60 min.) is a documentary film by Mustafa Emin Büyükcoşkun\, with testimony on how to deal with recording the present in the aftermath of the Suruç bombing which took the life of 33 and injured 103 socialist students who were about to set off to bring humanitarian aid to Rojava in the summer of 2015. The event will also include selections from Material Aesthetic Research Collective’s Media Artifacts of Public Truth project\, based on the video archive created by the music producer Şanar Yurdatapan. \nMaterial Aesthetic Research Collective [Maddi Estetik Araştırma Kolektifi] focuses their attention on recovering and redistributing the documentary archives of the 1990s\, a moment in Turkey when new moving image technologies were levied against state violence.  \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.
