Dit fotoboek is het resultaat van 'Vrouwen van Nieuw-West', een fotografie- en verhalenproject in co-creatie met de vrouwen uit het stadsdeel Amsterdam Nieuw-West. De vrouwen deelden tussen 2018 en 2020 hun foto's en verhalen tijdens diverse bijeenkomsten, die in twaalf buurttentoonstellingen te zien waren.
This publication - a transnational exploration of the intersection of feminism, history, and memory - shows how the recollection of violent histories can generate possibilities for progressive futures. Questioning the politics of memory-making in relation to experiences of vulnerability and violence, this collection asks: How can memories of violence and its afterlives be mobilized for change? What strategies can disrupt and counter public forgetting? What role do the arts play in addressing the erasure of past violence from current memory and in creating new visions for future generations? With interdisciplinary contributions from, amongst others, Chile, Europe, Turkey, and the United States.
