X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Come and join us at the opening of <em>The 
	Nature of Remembering</em>. This group exhibition, initiated by artist Law
	il Karama in conversation with historian Megan Hoetger, features multimedi
	a research projects that move between interrogation of normative memory po
	litics and co-experimentation with environmental and more-than-human bodie
	s.</p><p>The exhibition title carries in it two meanings: on the one hand,
	 <em>nature</em> is evoked, drawing focus to actants, actors, and animacie
	s beyond and beside the human, who witness, participate in, index, recolle
	ct, foretell, and haunt historical time. On the other hand, the idiomatic 
	expression <em>the nature of</em> is taken up as a provocation, pushing ag
	ainst pervasive ideological and violently enforced notions of remembering 
	and of commemorating.Running through all projects is a commitment to pract
	ices of frictioning: engaging technologies against their colonial grain, a
	nd lingering in the affectively, ancestrally, archivally, and forensically
	 intertwined conditions of lived experience and knowledge production. Coll
	ectively, the works ask: Who, or what, enframes and enlivens acts of remem
	bering violence, which have been rendered invisible, unspeakable, and unth
	inkable?</p><p>The exhibition features work by Samuel Baidoo, Michèle Boul
