Project description:
The project will create unique content for multimedia artistic exhibits representing a new history telling via authentic personal testimonies.
The exhibition focuses on the viewer and brings Czech and foreign visitors closer to the Czech and European experience (including Norwegian) with totalitarian regimes.
The interdisciplinary project combines new media, game design, history, educational practices, visual communication, museology and other art principles to create a plastic image of the 20th century, offering different perspectives on historical themes. The project supports cultural institutions' capacity building and the creation of new modern history regional museums, lacking in the Czech Republic - the Memory of Nation Institutes (MNI). The purpose of the MNI is to popularise modern history via authentic personal testimonies based on the extensive Memory of Nation Archive. Regional centres in Pardubice and Brno will be opened.
The project will be implemented with a foreign partner, the renowned Falstad Centre, which focuses on documenting the 20th century phenomena and presenting these topics via modern exhibition procedures. This cooperation will mutually increase competencies in the field of creating exhibition content with modern technologies incl. i.a. augmented reality.
