Their works do not directly reconstruct the past; rather, they create spaces for dialogue between memories and the city's contemporary topography, revealing what lies beneath the surface of the present.

The young creators drew on archival recordings of interviews with survivors, recorded in the 1990s by PaweÅ‚ Spodenkiewicz – a journalist from Lodz and a writer. They chose places that particularly moved them – everyday spaces such as an apartment, library, shop, or school, but also places with a strong symbolic charge: a cemetery, a prison, a ritual bathhouse. 

Their artistic interventions – multimedia installations, sound works and activities in public spaces – revive the memories of former residents, making them a living, critical element of the contemporary cityscape.

Agnieszka Chojnacka, Borys Górski, Piotr Kusiak, Anna LigÄ™za, Anna Nowak, MikoÅ‚aj Nowosad contributed to the project.
