COLOMBIA !
A month long research secondment about memory culture of trauma at the National University of Colombia comes to an end. Through the Horizon 202 project ‘SPEME – Places of Memory in Europe, Argentina and Colombia’ we engaged with so many impressive initiatives that try to come to terms with a violence that has permeated this country for generations: museums, memorials, community projects, artists, architects, a former FARC member, victims of displacement, war and all sorts of violence, scholars, policy makers and activists. In SPEME we work together with: ALMA MATER STUDIORUM – UNIVERSITA DI BOLOGNA Italy,
UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE COLOMBIA / BOGOTÁ Colombia, UNIVERSIDAD DE BUENOS AIRES Argentina,
FONDAZIONE RECUPERO E VALORIZZAZIONE DELLA MEMORIA STORICA DEL CAMPO DI FOSSOLI Italy,
MUSEO DE SITIO ESMA – Ex Centro Clandestino de Detención, Tortura y Exterminio Argentina and UNIVERSITEIT VAN AMSTERDAM Memory Studies The Netherlands.

From the breath-taking work ‘Fragmentos’ of Doris Salcedo to deeply touching Theatre by students of the University of Antioquia, till the academic programme with lectures and workshops in Bogotá; our days were filled with encounters with a lot of different emotions.
