In this presentation, Data and archiving in the face of state erasure: a case for Research-Creation methods, will address data management through emergent research-creation methods in the settings of contested territory and traumatic histories. It will describe Naaman鈥檚 interactive documentary project, (2016), which was built on, and continues to generate, a dynamic archive of ephemera and stories about homes in West Jerusalem by the Palestinian families who were displaced from them during the 1948 war. This work presents the ethical challenges inherent in participatory projects that result in sensitive data alongside expectations for widespread public dissemination.
