SUMMARY:Digital Archives of the Unseen: Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk: Memory\, Erasure\, and the Living Archive\n\n\nInterdisciplinary\, interdimensional artist\, writer\, and ritual maker Faylita Hicks joins Walls Turned Sideways Gallery\, a nationally recognized space centering art\, justice\, and incarceration\, co-sponsored by the Guild Literary Complex\, for an artist talk on memory\, erasure\, and the politics of archiving. \nDrawing from Digital Archives of the Unseen\, Hicks discusses poetry as archival technology and the use of found digital media\, obsolete devices\, and ritual practice to examine surveillance\, disappearance\, testimony\, and collective remembrance. The talk explores how personal and communal memory is preserved\, distorted\, or erased—particularly through systems of incarceration and state power. \nThis conversation offers critical and historical context for the exhibition while inviting audiences to consider how archives live\, fail\, and resist.
