Difficult Inheritance: Telling Stories of Repair in Museums
Wednesday April 2
12:00pm – 1:00pm CST
Online (Zoom)
Orly Lael Netzer is a scholar of life stories, cultural studies, and memory studies. Interlacing Indigenous, diasporic, and settler perspectives, her work is driven by questions of relations — exploring how culture shapes our ways of being with others through listening to each other’s lived experience. Specializing in testimonial cultural production, and asking how are publics invited to inherit difficult knowledge, her practice aims to foster socially responsible and care-full spaces for learning and dialogue on national narratives, histories of injury, movements of redress, and discourses of reconciliation.
