The year 1989 brought significant changes for Eastern Europe. After the fall of the Communist regime, following the decades of omissions and distortions, with the slow process of democratization it finally became possible to freely initiate the discourse around Holocaust and to uncover hidden traumas. The aim of this course is to take a closer look at artworks and artistic practices devoted to the problem of Holocaust and to investigate it’s relation to the trauma of the collective. The art from two of the countries once belonging to the Eastern Bloc: Hungary and Poland, which has arisen after the transition will serve as a core for the analysis. |
