SUMMARY:Worlds Ablaze: Colonial Archives and Community Impact
DTSTAMP:20261112T215607Z
DTSTART:20261210T180000Z
DESCRIPTION:How can societies engage differently with colonial histories? A
	nd how do we deal\nwith the consequences of this engagement?\n\nJoin us fo
	r the launch of the GLOBALISE portal\, which makes roughly five million\np
	ages of Dutch East India Company archives far more accessible than they\np
	resently are. We use this moment to ask how GLOBALISE can change the socia
	l\nlives of the colonial archive\, as communities\, artists\, and historia
	ns worldwide\nuse it to reimagine local and shared histories. Next to the 
	presentation of the\nGLOBALISE platform\, an international panel will dive
	 into this topic\, exploring\nthe ethics of unlocking colonial archives an
	d building public infrastructures\nfor them. A second panel with local art
	ists and community organisers will\ndiscuss what unveiling these archives 
	means for them. Together\, the panels\nconsider how digitised access throu
	gh GLOBALISE can enable new narratives\,\nincluding community oral histori
	es\, while also exposing sensitive and painful\ncolonial pasts and histori
	es absent from cultural memory.\n\nNow that GLOBALISE puts these sources w
	ithin reach\, how can it fuel history\nwriting and public engagement\, and
	 what are the opportunities and\nresponsibilities in working with these di
	gitised colonial archives?\n\nIn this programme\n\nSosa Joseph\n\nContempo
