The publication examines strategies for engaging critically with historical memory in the context of contemporary art,

cultural discourse, and political reflection. It addresses how processes of forgetting, selective remembrance, and historical narrative formation influence social identities and public consciousness. Rather than understanding memory as a fixed archive, the contributions approach it as a dynamic and contested field shaped by institutional, cultural, and ideological forces.

By bringing together artistic positions, theoretical essays, and critical reflections, the book explores how dialogue can function as a methodological tool for countering historical amnesia and for reopening suppressed or marginalised perspectives. The focus lies on the role of cultural production and intellectual exchange in sustaining historical awareness, democratic responsibility, and future-oriented forms of collective reflection.
