Animacja jako sztuka pamiętania. Doświadczenia Ośrodka „Pogranicze – sztuk, kultur, narodów” w Sejnach
Animation as an art of remembering. The case of the “Borderland of Arts, Cultures and Nations” Centre in Sejny

Summary/Abstract: The author refers to the experience of the “Borderland of Arts, Cultures and Nations” Centre in Sej­ny, active on the Polish-Lithuanian border, and illustrates how the animation of culture can deal with the “difficult memory” present in Central and Eastern Europe, as well as how this kind of involvement can support people in developing their identity. In this sense, the animator becomes a humanist: comprehensively educated and conscious of the intellectual and personal development of both him/herself and others. Having in mind the uniqueness of such an undertaking, it is also important to notice that the original formula of such a centre – developed according to its leaders’ personal ideas – may become a genuine brand of Polish culture.
