Post-socialist Nostalgia and Reimagined Monuments: Making Intangible Heritage Tangible

17.03.-02.04.2026.

Post-socialist Nostalgia and Reimagined Monuments: Making Intangible Heritage Tangible is a sculptural research project that explores the complex relationship between memory, monumentality, and cultural identity in a post-socialist context. Situated in Rijeka—a city shaped by its Yugoslav past, industrial heritage, and shifting identity—the project aims to collect and reinterpret traces of intangible heritage—discarded materials, neglected monuments, architectural fragments, and local narratives—into new sculptural forms.

Building on her long-standing interest in monuments and modernist monumentality, she will work with found objects and abandoned industrial materials to create works that question traditional ideas of permanence and commemoration. The project reimagines the monument not as a symbol of glorification, but as a fragile, layered vessel of memory—shaped by erosion, time, and transformation. By connecting contemporary craft, post-industrial aesthetics, and themes of sustainability, the project seeks to render intangible cultural memory physically present and open to new interpretations.
