After silence
Type of activity
Location
Officially ignored stories are kept in silence: in family misunderstandings, on the pages of photo albums, in unrecognizable landscapes. Most often, they are about traumatic experiences related to the past, especially about the times of Soviet and National Socialist violence, but also it is in our present.
Public organization ‘After Silence’ is an initiative created in 2021. We work in the fields of memorial culture, public history and social anthropology to develop a critical understanding of Ukraine's past and present.
Our focuses are: individual experiences and collective traumas, memory and postmemory.
Our tools are: field researches, oral history, digitization of private archives, documentaries, media presentation.
