From December 9, 2023 to January 15, 2024, in Timisoara, will be open to the public the exhibition Memory Network - Identities, itineraries and museum confluences, an event realized within the 10th edition of the workshop "Memory Network", organized by the Institute for the Investigation of the Crimes of Communism and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER), the Memorial of the Revolution of 16-22 December 1989, Timisoara and the Museum of Communist Horrors in Romania.
Through Memory Network - Identities, itineraries and museum confluences we present for the first time, in an unique space and concept, the concerns and projects of institutions and specialists interested in the history of communism to the general public: both the Timisoara public and visitors to the cultural capital. These institutions, with different profiles and administrative structures, operate throughout the country through people with different occupations and interests, but all converging towards a common denominator: the activation, preservation and transmission of recent memory.
The history of the Network begins in 2015, when the Institute for the Investigation of the Crimes of Communism and the Memory of the Romanian Exile (IICCMER) launches a legally unformalized structure of the majority of public and private initiatives for the preservation and valorization of places of memory, for the organization of museum spaces dealing with the communist period in Romania and the Republic of Moldova.
