Memories and Shared Experiences. An Analysis of Exhibition Productions Made from Images and Everyday Objects

Abstract

The analysis of exhibition experiences carried out by university students in Colombia, who understand the importance of safe­guarding memories, allows us to assess how objects and photo­graphs are effective in activating memories and how, through these materialities, we can understand practices, discourses, and experiences that bring us closer to the situational contexts of a society overwhelmed by different forms of violence. The re­sults of this study will contribute to the construction of visual narratives and to the continued valuing of personal archives as an integral part of building the memories of a country striving for peace.
