10.11 FESTIVAL

The first edition of10.11 Festival is now part of our collective story. Over the course of 12 days, we explored different narratives from the past through tours, exhibitions, workshops, and discussions.

10.11 Festival was an invitation to walk through the city and see how the traces of communism still linger around us - in what remains and in what has disappeared. Together, we reflected on how the past continues to shape our lives today.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and we'll see you next time!
__________________________________________

For 36 years now, the topic of communism has periodically faded, only to resurface again - from “enough about communism” to “the conversation hasn’t even started yet”. Nearly four decades of efforts have been dedicated to understanding its legacy through art, education, and research. Yet, without established institutions and places, collective memory remains like a scattered mosaic - many personal stories with no shared narrative.

That is why the question of how we remember remains vital. The lessons of the past continue to shape our civic attitudes today. Memory is not a mere archive but an active tool for understanding current threats to freedom, the rule of law, and human dignity.
