Roundtable: Archival Worlds: Documentation, Preservation, and Digital Media in the Middle East

This February 21, 2019 Kevorkian Center roundtable, "Archival Worlds: Documentation, Preservation, and Digital Media in the Middle East," featured Diana Allan & Kaoukab Chebaro (The Nakba Archives), George Awde, Yasmine Eid Sabbagh (the Arab Image Foundation) & Christian Rossipal (the Noncitizen Archive). What kinds of experiences are not easily searchable through online engines? By what means is the creation of an archive authorized? These are a few of the questions the Archival worlds roundtable engaged with. On Thursday, February 21 Diana Allan from The Nakba Archives (http://nakba-archive.org/), Kaoukab Chebaro from the Palestinian Oral History Archive, George Awde & Yasmine Eid Sabbagh from the Arab Image Foundation (http://www.fai.org.lb/), and Christian Rossipal from the Noncitizen Archive (https://www.noncitizenarchive.com/) discussed how the transition to a digital archive affects the politics of representation and the practices of preservation, approaching the archive as a critical paradigm capable of contesting traditional dichotomies of resistance and power. Thanks to the event’s co-sponsors: the NYU department of cinema studies, the NYU Tisch School’s Initiative for Creative Research, and the NYU Center for Media, Culture, and History.
