"If I refuse to remember, I am actually ready to do anything." According to Hannah Arendt, remembering is crucial for critical action. This raises the question of what we want to remember and what structures we build for suppporting this purpose: Statues and legends, enemies and role models, songs, ideas and rituals. And how we internalize these fragments in order to actualize them as parts of ourselves in the present. But what myths have been attached to symbols such as Notre Dame? What about the Swiss mountains, Persepolis, the Silk Road and the Roman Empire? And what about everything we have forgotten? Selective memory carries the risk of romanticization and with it the sorrow of nostalgia – a toxic desire for what is no longer and perhaps never was. But the visit to the city of Bam, destroyed by the earthquake, was real, has become an embodied experience and is ready to materialize through that one smell, that one color or that one song. What I am is what I have become, is what I've remembered and repeated too often for it not to have become part of me. Our bodies, shaped and molded by repeated performances, produce the illusion of having a core deep within us that determines who we are. But this core is not entirely unique; it shows similarities to other cores. A circumstance that is explained less by practices of remembrance than it is confused with the notion of a latent cohesion between people of similar nature. Our kind. But perhaps we should not forget Hannah Arendt and remember what we wanted to forget. Welcome!
