Fostering South–South dialogues on difficult memories between Australia and Latin America
Fostering South–South dialogues on difficult memories between Australia and Latin America
The aim of this project is to understand how people from the Latin American diaspora in Australia, who have had experiences of conflict, dictatorships, war and/or violence, construct, interpret and contribute to understandings of historical memory including difficult forms of memory and heritage. This is part of a broader project that seeks to foster dialogues among Australia and Latin America on memory-making from the ‘Southern’ perspectives of Latin American migrants, artists, activists and scholars. The study aims to address a significant oversight in knowledge of the legacies of post-conflict and post-war experiences of the Latin American diaspora in Australia, while also fostering networks of solidarity and inclusion.
