Evropski spomin in vizualizacija travme: vloga umetniške reprezentacije v medijskem projektu »Begunec_ka sem«

This article analyses the 2016 media project by Widad Tamimi and Vesna Bukovec that was published in the national daily Delo. The project was based on the authors’ encounters with the refugees in two centres in Slovenia in time of the 2015 refugee crisis; these were then reworked into short visual and narrative stories. The aim of the analysis is to look into the pedagogical potentials of the unique combination of fiction, biographical data and illustration, as employed in the project, and the impact such a reconstruction of the biographic voice may have on public memory. This impact is examined in relation to theories of photography and its memorial power in the 20th century
