In November, our researcher, Karina Hoření, co-organised an online workshop with Veronika Warzycha from the Leibniz Institute for Research for Society and Space. Karina and Veronika met this summer at the Memory Studies Association conference in Prague and found that they are both interested in industrial heritage in the Czech-Polish-German borderlands. While Karina is focused on material legacies of textile production in northern Bohemia, Veronika´s PhD project is about twin cities on the Oder/Odra river and how industry is constructed as their shared heritage. Already in Prague, they decided to continue their conversation and met in November to talk for hours about new and old borders, their impacts, and their legacies in this region. This seminar is proof that connections established at international conferences can be further developed. It certainly was not the last meeting.
