The Archive of Forgetfulness is LIVE at archiveofforgetfulness.com
The online platform is an archive of mobility and infrastructure; it holds together acts of remembering; and it is a collaborative project long in the making.

โWe question how thinking through deep and recent histories, across water or through the skies, might reveal alternative ways of living? And how dreams of freedom, and other worlds that might have been possible, haunt our present, and suggest other futures?

Zoubida Mseffer began by retracing Yasminโs journey through family archives, memories and interviews. She followed in the footsteps of Yasmin, to places she had known, and lived, in an attempt to fill in the gaps and silences left by holes in memories.

The project includes 3 commissions: a video, a DJ set concert and an essay. These three works aim to stimulate discussion and debate, in order to question and dismantle authoritarian histories of the postcolonial state in the Egyptian context, as part of an African neighbourhood.
