This project examines contemporary art projects which interrogate marginalized, suppressed and overwritten aspects of cultural histories in the Maghreb. The aim is to establish an approach to cultural memories of this transcultural constellation by engaging in an interdisciplinary manner with the gaps, silences and fragmented traces that result from ideological and postcolonial forms of history writing in and about this region. Global entanglements create a need to recognize and account for heterogeneous, agonistic and often antagonistic memories which shape our historical present.
