Memory of Nations Sites

Penta Investments, s.r.o.

Memory of Nations Sites is a project of Penta Investments and Post Bellum, o.p.s. Its goal is to record life stories related to places in Prague which have been changing in the past years. We want to make use of the possibly last chance to capture the memory of places that undergo change right in front of our eyes. Based on concrete witnesses' life stories we intend to tell the story of where our city is going, in the sense of the motto: "We respect the place, have interest in witnesses' stories, and want to know our environment.
