![None](/media/2013/12/bg_content_en.jpg)
The International Video Art Festival "Now&After’14" will take place from 2 to 30 of April 2014 at the State Museum of GULAG in Moscow. Artists worldwide are invited to submit works on the theme of Memory Migration.
Application deadline is January 15, 2014, 17:00 MSK (13:00 GMT)
Memory is a special human ability to accumulate the past and to keep it for the present and future, overcoming the oblivion. We suggest the artists to explore memory as a flexible structure that is migrating in time and space from person to person, from generation to generation, between social groups and nations, between cities and continents, between virtual and real world.
Which memory features are important for us?
· Memory as a process, memory in evolution, memory in search.
· Lost memory, returned memory.
· Lapses of the memory and continuous chain of memories.
· Memory as a mechanism of past actualization.
· Autobiographic memory and collective memory.
· Memories about things that never happened and those that are only going to happen.
· Memory as a premonition of unpredictable future and as a precursor of eternal present.
· Memory as a stop in time and a leap in time.
· Memory in the virtual space.
· The site of memory and memory of the place.
· Memory of the loss and the loss of memory.
In 2014 "Now&After" festival is being held at the State Museum of GULAG – a place that has accumulated the memories of Stalin's punitive system. In the area of our special interest there is a traumatic memory: reliving and rethinking of the historical traumas, especially those related to the history of GULAG.
International Video Art Festival "Now&After" is organized and promoted by an independent non-profit organization Media Art Centre "Now&After" directed by Marina Fomenko. It pursues activity in the field of culture, development of domestic interregional and international communications in the media art sphere. It is an annual event in Moscow, Russia.
