Anja Medved: Memory-donation Actions
Talk and screening
Saturday, 7 June 2014, 5.00 pm to 7.00 pm, ZRC Atrium, Novi trg 2, Ljubljana
A conversation between the selector of the festival Vesna Bukovec and the director and video-maker Anja Medved – the artist in focus of the fifth edition of international festival Video in Progress.
The author will present her multi-annual project of memory-donation actions, a public collection of personal photos and memories. She collects them since 2007 on various occasions, mostly related to the experience of the former state border. The memory-donation actions resulted in several documentary videos, which will be screened at the event.
On this occasion we are announcing the first public presentation of the documentary video Memory Clinic – Ljubljana. A project based on a memory-donation action organized as part of the My Streets project at Vžigalica Gallery in February 2012. At time the residents of Ljubljana were invited to bring photographs of their city from their family albums to the gallery and share the memories related to them in front of a camera. The video is part of an online documentary project by Anja Medved and Tina Popovič, co-produced by the Kinoatelje Institute, Divja Misel Institute and MGML.

Memory Clinic – Ljubljana (27 min) – public premiere
