Future City Pt.5 - What should be remembered or forgotten?

14.1.2014


A conversation between Slavs and Tatars (Art Collective), Hamid Dabashi (Professor of Iranian Studies and Comparative Literature, Columbia University) and Deena Chalabi (Pop-Up Mathaf Guest Curator, Mathaf) at the Future City Forum, 27 September 2013 in Liverpool.

The final session of the Future City Forum looks at cultural memory in urban space, and considers cultural amnesia in relation to political volatility and historical rupture around the world. What are some overlooked traces that manifest in the present landscape and social fabric that may well have an impact on the future?
