ABOUT THE PROJECT
The project raises awareness of the history of resistance and solidarity against right-wing authoritarianism in five target countries: Finland, Italy, Portugal, Romania and Spain. It starts a communitarian reflection on past resistance and agency in places where they have been silenced pocketed as something else, or ignored. SolRem sheds light on the permeation of concepts, narratives and images associated with right-wing “travel” across decades. It shows the impact of the politics-collective memory dependency. The project is a necessary step in combating anti-semitism and protecting democratic values.
