fORUM is Mercer Union’s ongoing series of talks, lectures, interviews, screenings, and performances.
Resonance and Transmission is a multi-part events program informed by Aimée Zito Lema’s embodied entanglements with archival materials. Exploring cultural and artistic responses to recorded histories, practices of appropriation, and corporeal memory, the series asks: What does it mean to resonate with a movement, an artist or an event? What does resonance mean and what does it permit? And what does it not attempt to do? How does resonance differ from appropriation? What is the role of the body in contacting, transmitting, remembering feminisms and other social movements?
