Abstract

The primary focus of the research is to analyse the artistic expression of Bulgarian artists and researchers from the recent past. This research particularly emphasizes the Bulgarian pavilion at the 60th Biennale of Art in Venice. Alongside the topics of forced labour camps and the traumatic experiences of political prisoners, it employs a desk research analysis to explore artistic practices related to remembrance and reconciliation. The concept of postmemory is utilised to examine various collective memory practices and to trace the process of addressing trauma-related questions from the recent past. Its main novelty arises from the research questions posed, which argue that the role of art is not only to be reflective or critical but also to facilitate transformation. Thus, artistic expression ultimately aims to recreate an unbiased memory process of the recent past, serving as a rich field for reconciled practices.
