REMANENCE
Inspirited by rare sound and visual archive material, REMANENCE entwines memories of a forgotten 1930’s women’s anti-war movement.
In 1981, two researchers recorded the accounts of several members of a pre-war pacifist and feminist movement formed in the Netherlands. By the time of the recording, all were in their eighties. These women’s experiences, both intimate and political, highlight a history of internationalist struggles against rising fascism and its recapitulation of patriarchal norms, drawing a connection with feminist struggles across the world. There remain few records of this history, whose actors were forced to destroy or burn any and all evidence likely to incriminate them. Ultimately, Remanence chooses not to fetishize the archive, emphasizing instead the reverberations of memory—and in doing so, perpetuates it.
