This one-day conference explores the contributions of artists and scholars working with archives (and their silences) on public memory and history writing. By taking the exhibition "Travelling Back: reframing a Munich expedition to Brazil in the 19th century" (Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte, 9.2.-5.4.2024, curated by Sabrina Moura, fellow at the Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect at LMU Munich) as a starting point, it draws on concepts such as Saidiya Hartman‘s ‘critical fabulation’ to inquire about fiction and visual imagery as means of knowledge production about past and present.
