Memória da amnésia

About this book

Artist, curator and teacher of FAUUSP, Giselle Beiguelman brings together textual and visual essays in the field of memory aesthetics, which orbit around experimental and research works developed in her artistic interventions, proposing a reflection on the right to memory as opposed to the systematic politics of forgetting. This inability permeates the five textual and visual essays that make up the book. They are the result of projects elaborated along Beiguelman's artistic trajectory, partly reworked in her thesis of free teaching. Beiguelman is a researcher in the preservation of digital art, art and activism in the networked city and the aesthetics of memory in the 21st century. Develops projects of artistic interventions in public space and with digital media. "Finally, an essay on the fire of the Rio de Janeiro National Museum in 2018 highlights the "power of art in tensing memory and reinventing the real" and what we have left to resist the barbarism represented by the memory and the revisionism, which affect government policies, institutions, peoples, scientific facts, and history itself."
