14.07.2025 Justice Visions Podcast: Conversation with Mina Ibrahim, Eva Willems and Kim Baudewijns on Documentation and Archiving Practices in the contexts of Peru, Syria and Sudan

In this new episode of the mini-series on documentation, Justice Visions continues the conversation on documentation and archiving practices together with Eva Willems and Mina Ibrahim.

Eva Willems⁠ is a post-doctoral researcher at the History Department and the Department of Conflict and Development Studies of Ghent University. She examines how peasant militias in Peru use archives to organize life amid conflict. ⁠

Dr. Mina Ibrahim⁠ is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Conflict Studies at the University of Marburg and a visiting professor at the Department of Languages and Cultures at Ghent University. He builds archives to hold on to family memories and cope with ongoing displacement.

Mina highlights the importance of archiving beyond state institutions, including family photos and community collections as vital acts of memory and justice. Eva shares how “documentation has a very pragmatic aspect of organizing the war... but archiving has this aspect of organizing the documentation in a way that it can be preserved for the future.”

Listen now to explore how archives shape histories, identities, and visions of justice across conflict zones.
