REcall
Første og andre verdenskrig er en del av den kollektive hukommelsen i Europa. Falstad senteret og NTNU er med i dette prosjektet som vil involvere unge aktører under 35 år innen kreativ sektor, til å bidra med prosjekter som integrerer kulturarv og samtid. EU støtter prosjektet med 1,5 millioner kroner.
European Conflict Archaeological Landscape Reappropriation
The First and the Second World Wars are a central part of the collective memory of Europe, but their cultural landscapes and material cultures have often been given too little attention. Linked as they are to traumatic memories, war traces disseminated on the European territory represent a patrimony that is difficult to manage. Nevertheless, we believe that a healing intervention is possible that will turn them into precious resources for the construction of a European collective identity.
This is the challenge that the REcall project puts out. Our vision aims at weaving memory and imagination together, because we believe in the power of doing as a strong tool to reappropriate the XXth Century European Conflict Heritage and integrate it in our life.
For this reason, we ask young practitioners under 35 in all kinds of creative fields to imagine sustainable and innovative interactions between cultural heritage and contemporary art/design forms.
A Call for Proposal will gather ideas for the reappropriation of the WWII bunkers of the Atlantik Wall in Norway and of the WWI trenches of Linea Cadorna in Italy. 32 candidates will then be selected to take part in 2 multidisciplinary international workshops organized in Norway and Italy. The workshops will benefit from the know-how of a Consortium of partner universities (POLIMI, NTNU, AAU, UNEW) and museum associations (Falstad Centre, Museo Diffuso), whose experts and tutors will supervise the project activities.
At the end of a final intensive week, four winning prizes will be awarded during a closing conference that will be accompanied by a travelling exhibition and the publication of a catalogue to maximize the dissemination of the project's results. By developing network synergies at European level, the project will promote the transnational mobility of people and products, thus succeeding in building new narratives for a territory unified by common yet differentiated historical memories.
