As part of the public programme of the exhibition The Eloquent Silence of the Landscape, Espacio Tangente will host a public debate exploring the complex relationship between landscape, memory and democratic heritage. The event will take place on 6 February at 7:30 pm, and admission is free.
Under the title “Landscape and Memory: Heritage, Intervention and Conservation. From Silence to a Site of Memory”, the session will reflect on how places marked by violence and repression can be approached today: How do we intervene in landscapes that contain silenced histories? What responsibilities do institutions, artists and memorialist collectives have in the processes of preservation, interpretation and transformation of these sites? And how can landscapes move from imposed silence to becoming active spaces of memory?
The debate will bring together voices from art, memory activism and research:
-
Álvaro Alonso de Armiño and Belín Castro (Espacio Tangente and Foro Arte y Territorio)
-
Sol Benito (Coordinadora por la Recuperación de la Memoria Histórica de Burgos – CRMHB)
-
Jordi Guixé and Nuria Ricart (European Observatory on Memories – EUROM, and ,Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Barcelona)
The session will be moderated by Toni Coll Tort, photographer and author of the porject, whose work serves as the starting point for this collective reflection.
This public conversation reinforces the exhibition’s commitment to fostering critical dialogue on memory policies, landscape intervention and the role of culture in the construction of democratic memory.
