ECHO I: Dark Vein

Item Set

Title: ECHO I: Dark Vein
Description: ECHO I focuses on dark heritage linked to traumatic historical events in the Balkans, explored through artworks in painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, performance, videography, and photography.
Abstract: In the context of "ECHO I: Dark Vein", European project, Dark Heritage is connected to events that traumatise groups and determine their cultural identity. Such events concern societies, as physical and conceptual spaces related to war, genocide, mass killings, ethnic conflict, oppression, violence and death bear such moments in their heritage, tangible and intangible. Dealing with traumatic heritage may have therapeutic effects for locals and outsiders. War and conflict spaces exist around the whole Europe, thus dark heritage can be a starting dialogue point for artists and citizens.
