| Voices of the Forgotten: the East Timor Living Memory Project.
When: Wednesday 29 March 6.00 - 7.30pm. Where: Asia Bookroom, Lawry Place, Macquarie. RSVP: For seating and catering purposes by Tuesday 28 March. Anya Dettman and Bob Legge will give an illustrated talk about their work in Dili supporting a new project to record East Timorese oral histories. ** What is The Living Memory Project? The Living Memory video archive project, directed by well known human rights activist, journalist and author, Jill Jolliffe, records the testimony of former political prisoners, whose stories provide evidence of the still-unexamined human rights violations to which the East Timorese were subject in their quest for independence. The video archive will be used by the ex-prisoners' association ASEPPOL to educate a younger generation and urge respect for human rights. It will also form part of the on-line Southeast Asia Digital Library (see http://www.cormosea.org/grant.htm ). The Living Memory Project also hopes to use the interviews to build a database on the effect of imprisonment on the long-term health of ex-prisoners. This talk will feature an exhibition of photos, stories and video testimonies from the Living Memory project, highlighting the variety of interviewees: a female guerilla fighter, parent and child internees, singers, students, politicians, and women subjected to sexual slavery. This talk is part of a series of talks presented by the Australia Library and Information Association's Asia Pacific Special Interest Group. Come along and here about this important and inspiring work - all welcome! |
