In this response, reflections on Merle Heidi Molofsky's article, “Culture Is Memory, Memory Is Culture,” are presented. It investigates the complex intersection of psychoanalysis and art, and between memory and culture. Molofsky invites us to reflect on Freud's discovery of the unconscious. But Molofsky locates the unconscious in a richer artistic tradition. One that encompasses poetry, music, and spoken word as disseminators of emotional truth. Building on her work, this paper explores the ways in which memory, culture, and time intersect in an analytic encounter. It argues that, irrespective of theoretical orientation, psychoanalysis can be understood as a cultural act of creative remembering for which both analyst and patient are responsible, and in which both participate.
