memoriesmemories

memoriesmemories is a collaborative multimedia project and online archive that invites individuals to share personal memories, recollections, and related artifacts to explore how memory is formed, stored, and transmitted in contemporary culture.

Initiated in 2019 by an international artist collective, memoriesmemories operates across multiple platforms and emphasizes participatory creation over static curation.

The project hosts text memoirs, audio diaries, photo essays, short films, and interactive timelines. Submissions are curated and released under open licenses, with a strong emphasis on consent, privacy, and contextual notes.

It is structured around an online archive, periodic exhibitions, and a printed anthology. It is non-profit and collaborative, relying on volunteers for moderation, curation, and outreach.

Memoriesmemories originated from collaborative workshops across several cities and communities. It has been described by researchers and educators as an accessible entry point into memory studies and digital culture, and has been used as a teaching resource.

While praised for inclusivity and reflective practice, scholars also note challenges related to representation, consent, and the potential for memory distortion. The project addresses these concerns by publishing contributor notes, contextual essays, and transparent archival practices.

It has influenced digital humanities and participatory archiving, and has inspired similar projects that explore intergenerational memory in online and physical spaces.
