The International Seminar Kenneth Hudson DISSONANT HERITAGE OF THE XX. CENTURY

Venue: Muzej novejše zgodovine Slovenije / National Museum of Contemporary History Slovenija, Ljubljana

Date: 21 – 22 October 2013

We kindly invite you to the international Kenneth Hudson Seminar on Dissonant Heritage of the 20th Century, organized by the Forum of Slavic Cultures, the National Museum of Contemporary History Slovenia, Luigi Micheletti Foundation, the European Museum Academy, and the Museum of Yugoslav History. It will take place on 21 and 22 October 2013 at the National Museum of Contemporary History Slovenia in Ljubljana.

The seminar aims at fostering the regional offer of cultural tourism and promoting responsible relationship with the dissonant heritage of the 20th Century in Adriatic and Ionian Regions. This type of heritage, often unexplored, neglected, or even mispresented will be in the limelight of the seminar, since Adriatic and Ionian Regions’ dissonant heritage presents a crucial part of the contemporary life of Europe.

The seminar is based on the exchange of know-how, regional cooperation and cross-border activities. The partners involved in the seminar present the first list of regional dissonant sites: Italian Fascism, the traces of German Nazism and Slovenia’s Nazi occupation, the heritage of Yugoslavian Socialism. We believe that the institutions and the territories involved in the seminar will set the starting point for further network expand to the entire AII’s area.

The working language will be English.
