As part of the 32nd Holocaust Education Week, the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies was pleased to present a lecture by Michaela Melián. Memory Loops is an audio artwork based on material from victims of National Socialism from which Melián has created collages of voices and music, thematically linked to the topography of Munich. The website Memory Loops forms the central element of the artwork and the public can follow customizable, individual Memory Loops through the city. The artist will talk about creating the memorial and address questions about her own work.

Artist and musician Michaela Melián lives in Munich and Hamburg. She is Professor for Time-Based Media at the Hamburg Academy of Fine Arts (HfbK) and co-founder of the band F.S.K. (Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle, i.e., Voluntary Self-Control). In 2010, she received the Culture Prize of the City of Munich.
