Called the “science of real life” by historians Carlo Ginzburg and Carlo Poni, “????????????” describes an approach to ???????? ??????? that employs what we could think of as a ??????????? ????, focusing on seemingly irrelevant details, habits and routines, and underlying mentalities. Such studies can serve as “histories from below,” ?????? ????? ??? ?????????????? ?? ???????? ???? ?????? ?? ???????? ?? ?????????? ?????? ??????????.

This workshop, conducted by artist-scholars ?????????? ???̀?? ?????̂̃? and ?????? ??̈???̊?, invites participants to understand the methodology surrounding microhistories and develop their own prepared stories into a microhistory practice.

The first part of the workshop will feature filmmaker ?????? ???????, sound artist ????? ?????̂̃?, and historian ??????? ????? who will discuss their sound project Liberation Radio – an investigation into a group of American military deserters who went to the North Vietnamese mission in Stockholm in 1968 – developed into a film and sound installation exhibited at Manzi. After recapping the presentations and reading materials, Nhung, Jacqueline, and Magnus will guide different group discussions.

‘Art as Research: Microhistories’

This workshop is part of an inter-institutional research exchange programme, Art as Research: Microhistories, which explores the interdisciplinary potential of microhistory, bringing together artistic practice, history, art history, and anthropology as research-based forms of critical and creative inquiry. 

The programme is presented by Sàn Art, Fulbright University Vietnam, and Konstfack University of Art, Craft, and Design, funded by a Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education (STINT) Mobility Grant for Internationalization. It also joins the educational programming for Illuminated Curiosities, an exhibition presented by the Nguyen Art Foundation.
