About the exhibition
The exhibition … to leave a space in which the din of war might die down brings together art works that reflect on the lasting repercussions of war in Europe and beyond since 1945. The title alludes to Marguerite Duras‘ Wartime Notebooks and references a critical process of mourning that embraces both the personal and collective dimensions of traumatic experiences. The exhibition asks how historical violence continues to resonate and explores the potential of intergenerational and transnational dialogue for a pluralist remembrance that offers orientation for the future.
