Presentation by Théo Le Du Fuentes aka Cosmografik (FR), followed by Q+A

 

If history as subculture and self-organised do-it-yourself practice is about ‘commoning’ and ‘levelling’; promoting the sharing of scholarly resources and countering the idea that history is solely the province of professional historians, then virtual reality is the latest frontier in challenging dominant historical narratives.

 

In this presentation, Théo Le Du Fuentes aka Cosmografik, from the History From Below international network and RaspouTeam collective in Paris, will talk about using cheap and affordable technology to tell history, not from the perspective of the victorious but from the other side, the “loser’s history”.
