Madrid, Spain
In cooperation with our local partner, Goethe-Institut Madrid, the two day event »Memorias – German-Spanish Cultural Encounters« is dedicated to the topic of plural memory cultures. Hannan Salamat, board member of DialoguePerspectives e.V., is involved in the artistic curation.
Memory Matters
The guiding theme for 2024 is »Memory Matters«. This refers to the importance of memory for our society, but also to the multitude of reference possibilities within a pluralistic culture of remembrance. And this year’s motto was also the title of our first European congress of plural cultures of remembrance in St. Pölten.
Together with our cooperation partners, we want to make current developments in the culture and politics of remembrance visible and reflect on them, highlight new connections and relationships between different moments and narratives of remembrance and put them up for discussion. By bringing together different perspectives and experiences, new insights are to be gained and a broad social dialog stimulated. The events create a platform for an open exchange and promote an understanding of the diversity of memories and the significance of the culture of remembrance in Europe.
Dynamic Memory Lab Reloaded
After realizing the Dynamic Memory Lab with the “Codes of Memory in Roma* and Sinti* Communities” last year and showing it in Berlin, St. Pölten, Nuremberg and Neumünster, we will once again expand the DML in Madrid with regional content. This expansion will take place in collaboration with Samuel Escudero.
More information will follow soon.
