Dream Projects Interdisciplinary Center presents an international project on the preservation of private memory in digital culture - SOUND iD. It is based on the work of the ethnographer and folklorist Volodymyr Perzhylo - audio and video recordings that nobody has ever heard or seen before!
The researcher devoted his life to the search, study and preservation of folklore traditions and the ethnocultural heritage of Ukraine. Having made numerous field expeditions, he created an archive with exceptional examples of oral history — audio and video recordings of meetings with representatives of the Ukrainian diaspora, separated with borders and scattered throughout the world. In addition to these recordings, there are photos, publications and private letters of Volodymyr Perzhylo.
With the collected materials and documents and through the preservation of private memory and elements of intangible culture, SOUND iD provides the opportunity to expand the common historical reflection and offer a multi-layered look at the experience of forced migration and traumatic events of the twentieth century, a culture of critical understanding of history and national identity.
Within the project, they hold an international artistic residency and create an open online media archive, aimed at joining the efforts of the media companies and researchers from various humanitarian disciplines to find new ways of presenting the ethnographic heritage of Volodymyr Perzhylo with the help of modern technology and art.
The archive of Volodymyr Perzhilo – is a portal to our historical past, an opportunity to break through the time and reconstruct the voice of the nation – in girly songs, household conversations and street sounds.
