A web-based project by Janeil Engelstad that documents life during and after Communism through interviews with performing and visual artists, villagers, academics and former dissidents from Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. For many participants, including young adults who were children when the Berlin Wall came down, this is their first opportunity to publicly speak about their lives before and after the fall of the Wall. Additionally, Engelstad will use interviews housed on the website as the basis for exhibitions and discussions at art centers throughout Central Europe and the United States.
Produced with generous support from the US Embassy, Bratislava, The Central European Foundation, Trust For Mutual Understanding, Stanica, Artreach and individual donors.
