🕰️ Lost and Found: Stories of Memory and Forgetting
Details
📚 About our sessions
Please read the stories listed below before attending. For every story we will start with summarizing the story so that we have it fresh in our minds. We will share our opinions about the story, which parts we liked and which we didn't like, and we will discuss any and all aspects of the story and the writing.
📖 About this Session
Memory is one of the most defining parts of human experience. It shapes who we are, how we relate to others, and how we understand our own past. In this session we explore two stories where memory is no longer reliable, and where forgetting is either a loss, a burden, or sometimes a strange form of relief.
