NEW: Come along to our free Shadow and Dreams Seminar on May 17: tinyurl.com/ShadowAndDreamsSeminar
Viviane Silvera animated 30,000 of her hand-painted images to explore how traumatic memories are formed, stored, and ultimately transformed. Her animated documentary, SEE MEMORY, traces the intimate story of a young woman caught between past and present; her film captures the fragmented texture of trauma and the healing that becomes possible when painful memories are witnessed. In our conversation with Viviane, we explore her process of recovering lost memories and how opposing perspectives can constellate new attitudes toward trauma. We discuss cutting-edge findings on the way the brain stores and changes memory and reveal the intersection of art, science, and psyche.
Watch SEE MEMORY on PBS (now live!): pbs.org/video/see-memory-qrr4ny
