My piece on "COVID, Commemoration, and Cultural Memory" is now up on @MModernity Print Plus ⬇️
I was very aware when writing it that - as Freud wrote about WWI in early 1915 - we are “ourselves too near to focus the mighty transformations which have already taken place”.
Up now on Print Plus in @debraraecohen's "In These Times" blog series, @DrAliceKelly's timely post "COVID, Commemoration, and Cultural Memory" modernismmodernity.org/forum…

Walking around Hamburg during #dgfa19 I came across this monument to a local infantry regiment after the First World War (brief thread).

Our last @cultcommwar event Drawing Wars: Art and Cultural Memory - the fifth workshop in the series - was already a week ago! Thank you to everyone who came and participated in person, and I'm going to retweet some of the photos for anyone who missed it...

I’m beginning my trip home from Oxford after yesterday’s @cultcommwar #drawingwars event. I pretty much had the best time. As ever @DrAliceKelly put on a brilliant day but it was also great to see @hannamsmyth @drjanepotter @JanTattenberg & others. This is the #academia I love.
