Networking meeting in Poland. Public screening of the movie “With love, Stela”

We keep moving on our journey of "Decolonising Cultures of Remembrance". Together with our project partners we are meeting in Poland to get deeper into the topic of decolonial work. We will explore it on different levels: how it is implemented in art, in the work of the museums, in the academic research, in collective practices and in daily activism. One of the events is a public screening of the movie "With love, Stela" and a Q&A session with Stela Pascal afterwards

We will meet and learn together in Warsaw from 15th till 19th of October. The participants of the trip are project partners and also external people, with whom we want to work closely on the topic in the next year. We will collect the perspectives from Belarus, Germany, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Poland, Ukraine, Uzbekistan.

Inputs and public events

Most of our events are public. So, if you are in Warsaw or have friends/colleagues, who might be interested in joining our discussions on site, please, feel free to join or spread the word.
