At the end of April, the research team met at the German Historical Institute in Warsaw to discuss the progress of individual projects and the plans for publications and future conferences. The roundtable discussion of the book “Art Worlds” by Howard Becker gave the impulse to the conversation about the theoretical framework of the general project and its transdisciplinary character. The team also visited the Museum of Polish History (under construction), where the researchers met with dr Michał Przeperski, who explained the infrastructural factors behind this very place.
April 2024: Tomasz Załuski presented the assumptions, methodology and structure of the project at the Polish-German workshop „(Post)colonialism, (Post)migration, Transnationalism“ organised in Łódź by the Doctoral School of Humanities at the University of Łódź in cooperation with the Justus Liebig University in Gießen. He also conducted a mini-workshop on the perception of infrastructures shaping the experience of visiting exhibitions and existing in different fields of humanities research.
January 2024: Tomasz Załuski and Magdalena Saryusz-Wolska discussed the concept of infrastructure of cultural memory at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz with Gabriele Schabacher, Franziska Reichenberger, and Thomas Ullrich and students from the School for Media Culture Studies.
