This conference aims to examine the triangulation of memory, security, and sustainability, corresponding to, but not limited to, the contemporary condition of digitally-disseminated identities, networks of knowledge, and artificial intelligence. It seeks to invite ideas and interventions, from academic, industry, and policy- oriented perspectives about the ontological and experiential entanglements of memory apropos of the material and affective models of security and how the same correspond to sustainability at individual as well as collective levels. The conference will engage with human as well as non-anthropocentric models of security and sustainability, connecting to ecological and planetary perspectives. It will examine literary, artistic, cultural, and technological representations of such entanglements as well as policy-driven narratives involving the ethics and role of remembrance, reconstruction, and preservation. The primary academic focus of the conference is interdisciplinarity and we invite presentations on how the interplay of memory and forgetting; security and insecurity; and sustainability and perishability; may be complexly calibrated and represented
