Wanås Youth Project 2009

Memory’s Pictures

The 2009 Youth Project, Memory’s Pictures, relates to the 2008 exhibition Loss. Mentored by the artist Bjørn Wangen, 31 students from Christian 4:s Gymnasium in Kristianstad and Hässleholms Tekniska skola are participating in the project. The artistic production takes its inspiration from discussions about private versus public memories. As background the students have read Sanna historier om flickan i Auschwitz by Sören Sommelius (Historiska Media, 2007) and Sonderkommando by Shlomo Venezia (Albert Bonniers Förlag, 2008). Five students from the Aesthetic programme at Hässleholms Tekniska skola are documenting the project, which is presented in an exhibition May 17 – October 25.
