What we will discuss:

🔸 the place of art in public space;
🔸 which art spaces speak most effectively about history;
🔸 whether art projects can help society reinterpret history;
🔸 "monumental propaganda" and whether it should be applied today;
🔸 how the context of exhibition halls differs from streets and squares;
🔸 whether collecting can be considered a form of memory and how to make collections accessible to the public;
🔸 inclusive practices in art: a demand of the times or a sign of societal maturity;
