Creating Interference is an international network of researchers, artists and critics who creatively respond to and critically engage with memories and historical narratives.

Our aim is to develop, explore and identify creative strategies to disrupt knowledge conventions and dominant discourses of the past. Creative works are seen as catalysts for change to knowledge about the past for justice and transformation in the present. To this end, we prioritise a de-colonial approach that necessitates a differently configured relationship with the past which overturns and de-centres European hegemonic discourses of knowledge.

We invite you to join the network as a way to debate, develop methodologies, publish and explore a range of artistic and scholarly works that challenge, ask questions and inform.

Narrative, Institutions, Historical Objects and Monuments

The afternoon is aimed at artists, researchers and critics who are interested in actively contributing to the conversation  – to listen, offer ideas, commentary and expertise.
