CITYTELLING FESTIVAL 2022
Unique in its format, this is one of the Memory Office programme’s largest events. Launched in 2019, this initiative gathers together artists, museum and theatre professionals, librarians, amateur history enthusiasts, and professional tellers of history. Together, we seek to resurrect forgotten stories, strengthen the dialogue between different communities, and encourage pride in the place where we live. The 2022 CityTelling Festival has grown into an expansive programme unfolding over several months, combining projects of different genres, forms, and themes: exhibitions, productions, concerts, public art creations, tours, and professional story-telling performance programmes, etc. The programme devotes considerable attention to the city’s Jewish memory. The highlight of this programme will be the World Litvak Forum and the programme’s main events – exhibitions, staged productions, and concerts – devoted to fostering a greater understanding of the city’s Litvak roots and, at the same time, to healing the wounds of historical memory. We invite everyone to participate in the festival’s events, follow its programme, and support our initiative by continuing this festival after the European Capital of Culture programme has come to a close.
