This year's exhibition of the Future Generation Art Prize 2024 shortlisted artists explores the themes of heritage, memory and identity construction. For example, Salim Bayri, through his experience of migration, reflects on how to balance between preserving the past and accepting change. And Yasmine El Meligi, in her work, tries to rethink the past and find a place for it in the present. During Anton Liagusha's lecture “In Search of Myself, or Memory Under the Microscope,” we will discuss the following issues:● How, what, and why do we remember?● What is multidirectional memory? ● Memory as an experience, a tool, and a way to comprehend reality and work with it.
