ECHO III: For Memory's Sake

Item Set

Title: ECHO III: For Memory's Sake
Description: ECHO III aims to explore traditional and cultural practices related to marriage and gender roles in the Balkans through ethnographic research and arts, fostering community engagement.
Abstract: In the context of "ECHO III: For Memory's Sake", European project, we aim to bring together artists working in the fields of theatre, music, visual arts, and literature to explore traditional and cultural practices related to marriage, arranged marriages and nuclear families in the Balkan context. Specifically, the aim is to explore gender roles and norms through history, and how these affect young people and artists living in Europe.
ECHO III involves emerging artists from the Balkans through cultural and artistic practices, exchanges and stimuli, especially during critical and challenging times for the artistic communities. By boosting the engagement of different audiences, the project wishes to bring different generations together to ponder upon questions about the ways that society has chosen to raise its children.
