MEMORY RESEARCH
Memory research aims to understand the impact of typical spaces to our memory, well-being and habits. The memory research was conducted with adults of different ages who attended a soviet kindergarten in Lithuania, Ukraine, Romania. The respondents were invited to draw and describe their memories of the time they attended kindergarten. The research is seen as awareness-raising,and is anticipated to be conducted in other post-socialist countries.
