Rescue
Memory
ReActMem continues working with difficult heritage, supporting artistic, research and educational activities, involving local communities and organizing further public events. The project approach is derived from the rising tides of "memory activism" and it aims to inspire a collective effort of bringing together activists and institutions to discover and work with the past for the sake of a better future. It addresses antisemitism, racism and different forms of discrimination against other minority groups in Europe.

The seminar took place in Świnoroje in Podlasie, on the Polish-Belarusian border.

Speakers were selected based on abstracts submitted in response to an open call circulated through academic and activist networks. In addition to the speakers and other active participants in the seminar, about 25 other people attended the sessions and the opening of the exhibitions (activists and humanitarian workers, local residents and international students from the University of Warsaw who joined the discussion).
