GERMAN-ARMENIAN YOUTH PROJECT – INVISIBLE AND UNSAYABLE – UNVEILING HIDDEN REMEMBRANCE

Remembrance of historical events is taking place in society in various ways, as in the shape of monuments and memorials. In many cases remembrance was prohibited in history and sites of historical events were hidden, demolished or as another strategy reinterpreted, so their meaning was not visible anymore.

The project will reveal the forbidden, forgotten and suppressed remembrance and analyze the forms of remembrance that took place instead, didn’t take place or took place in another form than usually known.
