Remembr-House is an exhibition built on civic sense, love of history and memory, but also on the creativity and fresh eyes of young students and educators.
The starting point was the international contest for hundreds of students who worked on the lists of properties and houses seized from Italian Jews during the Shoah. A training that led them to reflect on the rights of the past and present.
What does it mean today for a young person to lose their home? What does it mean to give up the objects of a life that reveal one’s personality, dreams and secrets?
The exhibition layout looks like a cardboard house full of ideas. Each room houses and reworks the contest projects, turning the young people’s proposals into reality and inviting the visitor to participate with practical activities and online insights.
- The travelling exhibition is opening to the public in Turin on September 24 at the Museo Nazionale del Risorgimento Italiano – Palazzo Carignano and then will move to
- Madrid at the Centro de Estudios Ibn Gabirol Colegio Estrella Toledano (31 October – 13 November) and to
