CHRA is hosting a screening and discussion on Monday, April 3, 5pm, at Weis Cinema, as part of Archival Collective Counter\u2013Imagination<\/i>, a two-part program curated by art historian and current CHRA Fellow Lara Fresko Madra.<\/p>\n

The event will include a screening of Set Off [Gitmek] <\/i>by Mustafa Emin B\u00fcy\u00fckco\u015fkun of The Material Aesthetic Research Collective [Maddi Estetik Ara\u015ft\u0131rma Kolektifi], with a discussion with director Mustafa Emin B\u00fcy\u00fckco\u015fkun and Lara Fresko Madra.<\/p>\n

Set Off [Gitmek]<\/i> (2019, 60 min.) is a documentary film by Mustafa Emin B\u00fcy\u00fckco\u015fkun, with testimony on how to deal with recording the present in the aftermath of the Suru\u00e7 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\u2019s Media Artifacts of Public Truth project, based on the video archive created by the music producer \u015eanar Yurdatapan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Material Aesthetic Research Collective [Maddi Estetik Ara\u015ft\u0131rma 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Archives 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.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Archival Collective Counter\u2013Imagination<\/span><\/i> 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\u2019s modes of social organization around the moving image that cross and, at times, defy the horizon of the nation-state.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
