Conference “Memory and Oblivion in the Post-Holocaust Era: The Ethics of “Never Again

Conference “Memory and Oblivion in the Post-Holocaust Era: The Ethics of “Never Again in the Sefarad-Israel Center

Conference by Alejandro Baer that gathers the research published in the book with the same title. Natan Sznaider, co-author of the book, will participate in the dialogue following the talk.
The duty of memory surrounding the Holocaust has been dispersed throughout the world and interacts with other narratives of victimization that require equal treatment. Are there crimes that should be forgotten and others that should be remembered?

 

Exhibition “Fake Games. The Collectivized Monument” at the IVAM

Exhibition “Fake Games. The Collectivized Monument” at the IVAM

The director of the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern (IVAM), José Miguel G. Cortés, the curator Miguel Caballero, and the artist, Fernando Sánchez Castillo, will present the exhibition Fake Games to the media. The collectivized monument.

The artist proposes the creation of a collective memorial in gallery 6 of the museum from one of the most iconic photographs of the Spanish Civil War: Death of a militiaman attributed to Robert Capa and Gerda Taro.

The main installation of the sample is a memorial based on the exchange of a small figure of a little plastic soldier, inspired by the famous militiaman photographed by Capa / Taro. Visitors over the age of fifteen – the minimum age for enlisting in the militias – can take a little soldier home in exchange for a reflection on this conflict and its aftermath that will be written on the walls of the gallery.
