This thesis explores how memories, shaped by social, political, and historical forces, influence our identity and worldview. Growing up under dictatorship, apartheid, and war, my formative years were marked by fear, stress, and anxiety, alongside moments of joy. Childhood innocence was replaced by a reality of political instability, leaving little room for autonomy. These experiences fostered an early understanding of resilience and oppression, which have shaped my adult perspective. By connecting personal trauma with broader collective histories, The multi-sensory immersive installation seeks to highlight the lasting impact of conflict and repression on individuals and communities, emphasizing the role of memory in shaping identity and societal awareness. This work uses several forms to create an effect and connect trauma, lived experiences, and reflections of these things to our historical understanding. 1. Immersive, interactive installation2. Asemic writing3. The philosophies of Adorno, Haraway, Bhabha, and Dr. Little Bear.
