We are very excited to be able to host Dialogical Models of History - a guest workshop by Dani Gal at Catalyst this month!

Dialogical Models of History is a workshop that explores how dominant historical narratives can be questioned through dialogical and non-binary approaches rooted in media theory. Drawing on concepts such as Primo Levi’s “Gray Zone” and Franz Fanon’s “Vertigo,” the workshop examines how ethical and moral complexity is constructed and perceived through media. Film, as the central artistic and theoretical medium, serves as the primary site for engaging with ideas like empathic unsettlement, multidirectional memory, witness testimony, and the possibility of forgiveness. 

Through close analysis of cinematic representation, both fiction and documentary, the workshop investigates how spectatorship, framing, editing, and narrative contribute to the construction of historical meaning. In doing so, it proposes that history is not fixed but is continually reshaped in the interaction between media, maker, and viewer.

• Capacity: max. 20 people.
• Location: Co Lab 6
