WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
Public space and memory topics constantly reoccur in the European discourses on art and history. There is a number of successful and meaninggful commemorational projects realised in Europe and elsewhere. However, a great number of public monuments are still produced according to traditional clichés, which neither move human senses, nor liven up our memory.

This three-week-long course aims to present international practices of contemporary alternative memorial building. It also gives the participants an opprtunity to test their skills in this particular field and to work on their own memorial project under the guidance of tutors and guest speakers.
