FOR THE PHOENIX TO FIND ITS FORM IN US: BULLETINS ON RESTITUTION, REHABILITATION, AND REPARATION

With FOR THE PHOENIX TO FIND ITS FORM IN US: BULLETINS ON RESTITUTION, REHABILITATION, AND REPARATION, SAVVY Contemporary dedicates space to exploring the entanglements of the three key subjects restitution, rehabilitation, and reparation as a possibility of going beyond the notion of just return. This publication, together with artists, writers, and other intellectuals and activists, reflects on notions of restoration – not only of the subjects/objects taken away from peoples and particular places, but also to think of a restoration of the peoples and places that have had to exist in a state of cultural and psychological deprivation. This demands of us to think of any form of restoration as a possibility of re-integration, and rehabilitation. Which is to say the possibility of re-accommodating beings once taken away into systems that have experienced both time and spatial shifts.
