Re:Souvenir

 

May, 2019

The group exhibition Re:Souvenir is result of a collaborative artistic research workshop on the notion of the souvenir as a medium to recall personal and collective memories. It departs from the ideas of scholar Alison Landsberg in her text «Prosthetic memory: the ethics and politics of memory in an age of mass culture». During the workshop twelve emerging artists examine the possibility to construct prosthetic memories through artistic practices in the urban landscape. Sound and photographic walks are used as critical tools to investigate the public space and the memories that constitute it. The workshop culminates with the creation of collective souvenirs as vessels of the memories collected during the research.
