The exhibition ... so that the sound of war may subside, its roar brings together contemporary artworks that deal with the aftermath of wars within and outside Europe since 1945. The title refers to Marguerite Duras' war memoirs and refers to a critical mourning process that includes personal and collective dimensions of traumatic experiences. The exhibition asks how historical violence reverberates and explores the potential of intergenerational and transnational dialogues for a pluralistic memory that also offers orientation for the future.
