Culture And Memory

The Rudi Project

The Rudi Project will involve in our work local communities that we don’t yet engage with, positioning them as participants within the fabric of our programmes. Through workshops, events, publications and residencies, we pose critical questions: how do we engender reflections on the Holocaust's legacy in communities that feel alienated from it? How do we work with communities that may feel divided due to current international conflict? How can we commemorate the Holocaust whilst also acknowledging participants’ inherent experiences in an ever-shifting present? This initiative represents the legacy of our HF 'Resilient Organisation' project,' which delivered a re-imagined Holocaust Centre North with a mandate to articulate 'a global history through local stories' and cultivate 'a culture of care' when engaging with traumatic narratives. Building on this, we will co-create sustainable participation practices, which acknowledge communities’ experiences of trauma, and expand our reach to include with a spectrum of new voices.
