Re-Memory: how to catch the Past through Art

I grew up surrounded by stories that were never fully told — things people mentioned but didn't explain, silences that said more than words. Over time, I started to notice that every family, every place, every country carries these untold stories. Some get written into official history. Others are pushed aside, forgotten, or actively erased. This workshop starts from that simple, personal question: does the past really go away? and how does it come back? It comes back as a feeling, an image, a gap in the story — like a ghost. And art, in any form, is one of the most powerful ways we have to bring those ghosts into visibility. We'll ask simple questions together: is there any memory I'd like to explore whether related to my own biography or to a particular location, history, time that we like to explore? You don't need any experience in art, history, or academic research to join. This workshop is for anyone curious about memory, identity, and the stories we inherit — whether you want to work with film, photography, sound, drawing, performance, or anything else. I'll bring my own background in visual art, filmmaking, and ethnography to guide the process, but the work itself is yours to shape, in whatever medium feels right to you. By the end, everyone's piece will come together in a final exhibition, open to the public. For everyone — no academic background or special skills required, and all artistic disciplines are welcome. Accessible — all tools and resources are free to use. Collaborative — be inspired by real-world examples and the creativity of the group.
