The exhibition My Memory Isn’t Mine delves into the complex relationship between human memory and media in the digital age, exploring the boundaries between organic and mechanical memory. It examines how memories and memory itself are stored, represented, and communicated through contemporary media, revealing their integrality in both everyday support and potential threats. Central to this exploration are phenomena and traditions of inheritance, focusing on how memories and knowledge are passed down through generations, shaping the spiritual side of collective memory and identity. The works presented in the exhibition question the transmission of information, the inheritance of trauma, fluid definitions of domesticity, and belonging to geographical and ideological territories. They emphasize the importance of mindful archiving of materials, symbols, memories, and experiences in the era of digital communication.
