(Re)Construction of Memory: Reports of Resilience focuses on the importance of memory in preserving and building the identity of a society; the way it promotes reflective awareness of the past, of lived experience, of what we live and what makes us who we are. In this process, an image, as a record of an event, by itself, never completely corresponds to the past, either in documentary terms or by the subjectivity that we project on it. Likewise, remembering is not reliving experiences, since the memory that we construct is not an exact copy of what we lived, but rather the result of a selective process. Based on these assumptions, the project seeks to revive memory by gathering and contextualizing records of two major earthquakes in Mexico City, September 19, 1985, and 2017, respectively the same day, 32 years later. Taking this history, and temporal coincidence, as illustrative of the importance of memory, photographs of the Archives of the Nation were compiled, among other sources, which serve as a link between stories of those involved in both events, thus rescuing memories from their similarities. In this way (Re)Construction of Memory seeks to raise awareness of how material loss and death can be an agent for hope, for a new beginning, and thus a way of creating resilience for the future
