Green commemoration. Postmemory practices

Program

What does working with difficult heritage look like in practice? How are performative monuments created? How do you decolonize places after violence, bring out their post-memory dimension and restore agency to victims?
These and other questions will be addressed during the third “Green Commemoration event series. Postmemory practices”. The main language of the meeting will be English, but we provide simultaneous translation into Polish for all interested parties.

The idea of Green Commemorations also perfectly connects with the Jewish holiday of Tu Bi'Shevat, also known as the Jewish New Year of Trees, which this year begins on the eve of February 5th. In modern times, this Talmud-derived holiday, is often connected to raising environmental awareness, tradition’s advocacy of responsible stewardship of natural resources, as the traditional planting of trees in Israel.

The event is FREE, upon prior REGISTRATION: https://forms.gle/XQ47dEeSHHfkL8br9

We hope that the case studies presented during the event and the topics discussed will lead to joint reflection of all those present on the issue of green commemorations, both in theoretical and practical terms. We hope to exchange inspirations, ideas and doubts.
