We launch this dossier with Life Stories of Montrealers displaced by War, Genocide, and other Human Rights Violations. This five-year oral history project explores survivors' experiences and memories of mass violence and displacement. A team comprised of dozens of university and community-based researchers are in the process of recording life story interviews with more than 500 Montreal residents from Rwanda, Cambodia, Haiti, Latin America, and South Asia, as well as Holocaust survivors.
Kathryn Harvey in conversation with Toby Butler, visiting sound artist at Concordia's Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling in the month of November. Toby Butler is the creator of Memoryscape, ‘sound walks’ that invite you to experience the hidden history of a place by listening to the memories of inhabitants, both historical and contemporary, as you walk through it. He is in the Geography Department, at Royal Holloway, University of London, and at the Museum of London. He is also a visiting fellow at the London East Research Institute. The interview was broadcast on CKUT 90.3 FM Radio's Monday Morning After on Dec 28, 2009.
