Relational Reconstructions

$212.47 - $1,584.76 (includes all fees)

Experiences with archives, their gaps and harms, can be both painful and fruitful for people of color, as despite themselves, these materials offer glimpses into possible pasts and futures. In this class we will use creative means like Saidiya Hartman’s critical fabulation, interactive historical fiction, 3D and photographic worldbuilding, and multisensory immersion to develop relationships with possible ancestors, using archival records as building materials. We will explore techniques for weaving ancestral spaces into our lives, while learning about the work of artists, writers, poets, and game designers who have written themselves into their own pasts in many different ways.
