16:00 Roundtable discussion
The House of European History invites you to a roundtable discussion on the innovative concept of Slow Memory, a perspective that emphasises long-term processes of remembering, forgetting, and re-engaging with history. The event will begin with a presentation of the key ideas behind this approach.
Members of the Slow Memory network will share insights from their collaborative research, exploring how slow memory shapes and is shaped by different European contexts:
Together, these case studies highlight how slowing down our practices of remembering can contribute to more inclusive, reflective, and sustainable memory cultures — with concrete relevance for European memory policy and practice today.
The discussion will be followed by refreshments and guided tours of the photographic exhibition Presence of the Past – a European Album, offering participants the chance to continue conversations in an engaging, informal setting.
18:00 Slow Memory guided tours in the Presence of the Past exhibition
Members of the Slow Memory network have been given “carte blanche” to guide you in the exhibition, drawing your attention to selected works and spaces where the slow memory concept is best revealed and questioned.
