Events
Frankfurt Memory Studies Platform
I have been invited by Kaya de Wolff to be part of the Frankfurt Memory Studies Platform's events. Together with Kaya de Wolff I will give a double presentation on comparative postcolonial memories in Germany and Dutch cinema.
LU's Institute of Advanced Studies
In this hybrid seminar I will critically scrutinise the idea that memory travels freely and discuss how a straightforward mobility of cultural memory does not apply to every local context. I will draw from my PhD dissertation and focus on Indonesian popular culture (film, historical re-enactment, and online music videos) about the Indonesian War of Independence (1945-1949).
