Sylvia Wynter's Dream

HOW MEMORY MAKES US THE MAIN CHARACTER

Under the theme amnesia: the things we forget about ourselves, I hope to focus on the things we each forget on a personal level. As we develop our self-concepts, there are some memories that root themselves into the foundation of who we are, but more interesting to me are the things we must forget to live with ourselves, to love ourselves, to become better versions of ourselves. Our brains have their own built in mechanisms that prioritize, filter, distort and repress memories, but what exactly are the things we forget?
