What are we to make of heritage in the context of the monumental fortifications of Vallo Alpino? Are the bunkers of Südtirol/Alto Adige monuments or sources of energy? Are they non-places of the past or sites with great potential for the future?
The conference at the Landesmuseum will focus on fascism’s cultural artifacts in the Alps and will examine challenging questions surrounding their value and utilization. The topics span from research via agrarian economy to manifestations of counter-culture and youth culture.
It is beyond dispute that the large complex dating from World War II symbolizes a dark past. Yet it is also beyond doubt that the attention Vallo Alpino attracts throughout Europe can set in motion a contemporary approach to these unusual cultural artifacts and, in the process, open up astonishing perspectives.
These themes will be presented at the conference and discussed with the general public. A wide range of possibilities regarding the interpretation and design of the fortifications will be explored, demonstrating how this site, which bears witness to the region’s history, can be used creatively and constructively.
