SOCIALEAST SEMINAR ON ART AND MEMORY
Mimara Museum Zagreb, Saturday 21 April 2007
The SocialEast research forum considers the art and visual culture of Eastern
Europe through collaborative projects, exhibitions and seminars. The goal of
SocialEast is to encourage comparative research into the art history of the
countries of Eastern and Central Europe, as well as consider wider issues in
socialist visual culture and beyond. The fourth seminar focuses on the role of
artists in excavating memories of the socialist period. It considers the role
of artists, curators and researchers in analysing and processing public
memories and consciousness, as well as the role of visual representations in
our understanding and recoding of Eastern Europes socialist past.
