Hello! We are a group of students doing a
project on the conservation of memories. We believe that certain
objects can trigger a person’s memories and let people remember
certain incidents and experiences. Therefore we intend to conserve
memories through artefacts.
E.g. A girl’s father gives her a book with
an inscription in it for her birthday. He dies in a tragic accident
days later. The book is now an artefact that reminds the girl of
her days with her father. It triggers memories of him whenever she
sees it. Thus through the book, the memories of her days with her
father can be conserved. Moreover, lessons can be derived from the
girl’s personal experiences and can then be transferred to the
public.
We plan to do this through an
online museum (http://conservememories.weebly.com/)
and a physical exhibition, and would like to appeal to you to
contribute to our effort by submitting pictures, videos and
descriptions of your artefacts that cohere with our project, and/or
allowing us to display your artefact at our
exhibition.
