Drei europäische Regionen, ihre Geschichten und gegenwärtigen Erfahrungen der kollektiven Amnesie in Bezug auf traumatische Ereignisse aus der Vergangenheit stehen im Zentrum der Ausstellung Stories of Traumatic Pasts: Counter-Archives for Future Memories: Belgiens Kolonialherrschaft im Kongo, Österreich nach dem „Anschluss“ von 1938 und die Verleugnung von Kriegsverbrechen nach dem Zerfall Jugoslawiens seit 1990. Die Co-Kuratorinnen führen durch die künstlerischen Positionen der Ausstellung, die sich als politische „Gegenerzählungen“ an die Gegenwart und Zukunft Europas richten.
Dr. Sophie Uitz, Politologin und Forscherin an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien, sowie Dr. Marina Gržinić führen durch die von ihnen co-kuratierte Ausstellung Stories of Traumatic Pasts: Counter-Archives for Future Memories. Unterstützt werden sie dabei von der teilnehmenden Künstlerin Adela Jušić.
