Reimagining Memory Through Performativity: Storytelling and Digital Practices In Arts Education

This paper explores the performativity of memory and storytelling in audi-ovisual performances, with a particular focus on fragmented sound and vis-ual narratives. It conceptualizes performativity as an interdisciplinary and fluid construct, one that absorbs influences from various artistic and educa-tional domains while fostering innovative pedagogical strategies. Through sound, image, and plasticity, performativity materializes in the interplay be-tween memory and place, contributing to expanded methodologies in arts education. In this regard, storytelling and digital re-enactment emerge as critical mechanisms for reconstructing and transmitting memory, facilitating new forms of engagement with artistic and educational practices. By exam-ining the processes of remembrance and representation, this study under-scores how memory is not only preserved but also dynamically reinterpret-ed through digital media and performative storytelling. Ultimately, we argue that the performativity of memory, mediated through storytelling and digi-tal re-enactment, generates a contingent relationship be-tween sound and image, enhancing student engagement and fostering deeper connections be-tween historical consciousness and creative practice.
