In drawing from the archive and ephemera of collective memory, Shallow Graves bridges the historical record or trace with the ways we remember and render the history in its particularity. Nanna Debois Buhl, Eric J. Henderson, Meredith Nickie, Jaye Rhee, Ryan Roa and Benjamin Tiven reflect upon both private and public monuments and employ multi-disciplinary approaches in researching, authoring and surveying the methodologies of tribute. Shallow Graves repurposes the colonial footprint to alternately define heritage as the amalgamation of the real and the imagined and assert visual translation as a vital tool of biography.
