MEMORABILIA designing souvenirs

A call to the evocative power of objects, which have the ability to stimulate our memory and create new ‘madeleines of Proust’. The aim of this exhibition is to gather a selection of 60 objects which contain representative and recognizable traces of the history of each designer, of his/her place of birth or living, ethnic group and cultural background, in order to offer the public a mosaic of hints and souvenirs that mark individual and shared pasts and awake innovative ways to discover and contemplate an evolving society.

 

The projects have been chosen by an international jury (see the website for the complete list of names) from a selection of 400 candidates coming from 31 different countries. The winners of three prizes (International, Euregio Meuse-Rhine and Wallonia) will be announced at the opening event of the Biennial, 4 October 2012.
