Urpi Collective invites universities, cultural spaces, and community organizations to partner with us on Counter-Pedagogies of Forgetting, an itinerant gathering that creates public conversations about memory and justice in relation to the political violence Peru experienced between the 1980s and 2000s. Through documentary film, literature, photography, and dialogue, this itinerant gathering invites Peruvian students abroad and the broader public to engage in critical reflection. It also underscores the urgency of continuing the search for the disappeared and of listening closely to the traces violence has left in Peruvian society.

Host sites may present one or more of the following components:

• Documentary screenings and conversation with guests; Talks and literary readings on memory, violence, and justice; Photography exhibition with guided dialogue spaces for the public
