Keep forget: turning memories and stories into artefacts

Abstract

'Keep Forget' is a Participatory Design project that focuses on transforming location-based memories and stories into tangible objects (i.e. artefacts). During the project (2013-2016), the residents of the neighbourhood of Winterslag as well as other local actors (the city, local organisations, etc.) were involved ins sharing their stories and (individual) memories about Winterslag and to visualize the meaning they had for themselves as individuals as well as for their community through the creation of artefacts. Through this exhibition, we explore the roles of relational expertise and power relations in the Participatory Design project 'Keep Forget'.
