Historical events and individual lives encounter moments of intersection enabling the creation of autobiographical memory. As Cuban American psychologist Olivia M. Espín pointed out, memory can help us to frame reality: conflicts that happened in places where she was living at that time served 'to anchor her memory.' Her research focused on memories as a crucial element in the formation and preservation of self and identity.
 
Taking the academic's theories on 'geography of memory' as a point of departure, we have invited artists to explore the theme of memory not just as a residue of past experiences but rather as an ever-changing constructive process deeply related to our emotions, values, and communication systems and feelings.
