Memory is a fiction made of human experience as a process of subjective production originated by lived events. Memory is not a faithful discourse of the real, it is a construct that is articulated in the relation between subjects and has an impact in identity construction.
My practice is focused on the creation of new narratives about Hulme between 1972 and 1996. Using memory as raw material, I work with several types of archives, making them speak to each other. This project uses various elements to depict a common past in a plurivocal scenario, contrasting opposing narratives to the officially true and homogenized discourse. Here the various dialogues that occur between memory and the past challenge the insinuated imaginary failure of Hulme which was spread as official narrative for many.
