Gund Theater. Admission free!
In a discussion of four contemporary artists from across the globe, Columbia University professor Marianne Hirsch explores feminist cross-cultural alternatives to official remembrance in a time of migration, exile, and globalization. Her lecture is the keynote address for Memory Without Borders: Violence, Justice, and Practices of Remembrance, a UC Berkeley conference that considers memory in a global age and its effect on our conception of justice.

Hirsch is professor of English and comparative literature at Columbia University. Her path-breaking books on memory, violence, and intergenerational trauma include The Generation of Postmemory: Writing and Visual Culture After the Holocaust; Ghosts of Home: The Afterlife of Czernowitz in Jewish Memory, coauthored with Leo Spitzer; and Family Frames: Photography, Narrative, and Postmemory.
This event coincides with the presentation of works from Fernando Botero’s Abu Ghraib series in the Theater Gallery from November 5 to 23 as part of Art for Human Rights Week. Memory Without Borders is made possible by a grant from the University of California Humanities Research Institute. Cosponsors include the Townsend Center for the Humanities, the Human Rights Center, the Human Rights Program, and the Departments of French, Spanish and Portuguese, Comparative Literature, and German, all at UC Berkeley, and the Consulat Général de France, San Francisco.
