  1. Another beautiful day. It's #sunny in the city i live, even though it's January, so today i sat on the bench with my girlfriend #contemplating our #childhoods while sitting in the sun rays. It's a #wonderful experience that i recommend, because it made me realize that childhood feelings don't just vanish because of age, but because we are stuck into a routine of work - home - work, tv - smartphone - laptop etc. You name it. If you want to feel like a kid again, go touch some grass really 🌞

  2. 📢NEW BOOK ALERT!

    🔖 Dive into the hidden layers of #ColdWar #childhoods with '(An)Archive', ed. by Mnemo ZIN.

    🔓Unlock forgotten narratives, reshaping our understanding of #history & hinting at the futures it might have held.

    What was it like growing up during the #ColdWar? What can #childhood memories tell us about state socialism and its aftermath? How can these intimate memories complicate history and redefine possible futures? These questions are at the heart of the '(An)Archive'. This edited collection stems from a collaboration between academics and artists who came together to collectively remember their own experiences of growing up on both sides of the ‘#IronCurtain’.

    Looking beyond official #historicalarchives, the book gathers #memories that have been erased or forgotten, delegitimized or essentialized, or, at best, reinterpreted nostalgically within the dominant frameworks of the East-West divide.
