Abstract:
TIME CASE Memory in action is a network of organizations, groups and individuals interested in participatory arts and 20th century memory practices. It offers experts of organizations dealing with cultural memory effective practice examples, knowledge and tools to enhance their participatory practices. It will support cultural organizations concerned with memory in reflecting on their own participatory practice, to investigate and explore ways in which they can begin to re-imagine our recent histories. The ambition of TIME CASE Memory in action is to celebrate the unique and hard won endeavours of creative projects and organizations across Europe that are engaging the public as active agents in their work. TIME CASE Memory in action is a resource for practitioners, researchers, (funding) organizations and participants that will provide examples, useful tools and outline key questions raised through practice. TIME CASE Memory in action wants to become a financially sustainable organization advocating and championing participation and active memory learning across the EU.
