The third episode of our Slow Memory podcast is now available!

The third episode of our Slow Memory podcast is now available on all major streaming platforms!

In this episode, we introduce Slow Memory in curatorial work.
 
Susana Gomes da Silva, coordinator of Education at the Modern Art Museum, from the Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon, Portugal; Blerta Hoçia, a curator from the Humanitarian Law Center, based in Kosovo; and Professor Vicky Karaiskou, from the Open University of Cyprus, delve into the meanings of slow curating and what slow curating has entailed in their curatorial work. Against the backdrop of the times of acceleration, they discuss slow memory – as an approach and a method– to critically explore the entanglements of material, affective, and nonhuman worlds. Inquiring into the curatorial domain through the slow memory lens, they pursue an ethical framework challenging representations of the fast-paced and anthropocentric agency.
