Memory (the deliberate act of remembering) is a form of willed creation. It is not an effort to find out the way it really was – that is research. The point is to dwell on the way it appeared and why it appeared in the particular way.
– Toni Morrison, ‘Memory, Creation, and Writing’ from The Source of Self-Regard
A screening of Toni Morrison’s 1986 talk at the ICA. This talk was part of a series of public conversations hosted by the Guardian in collaboration with the ICA. In conversation with literary critic and novelist A.S. Byatt, Morrison discusses and reads from her masterwork Beloved, reflects on centring black characters and responds to the notion of the black woman writer.
Guardian Conversations: Toni Morrison is a selection from the ICA archive and screened exclusively for Five Volumes for Toni Morrison.
