Genealogies

This image, and the others you have put together in this collapse-of-time model, bring me back to Foucault's dislike of the term "history". These images, by revealing what has been obfuscated by rigged narratives, and racist power pulpits, instead ethnographically point to the genealogical work of disarticulating particular archives, with their particular epistemological pedigrees. This image in particular requires that we de-familiarize ourselves with the "history" often celebrated in official city narratives, and instead remember the space as it was when it told life from another circuit of experience. Doing so furthers the de-colonial impulse to re-assemble and re-articulate the present through the archives uncollected or scattered.
