Why Should Museums Workshop Memories of Postsocialist “Transitions”

In the late 1980s–1990s, radical political, economic, and cultural changes took place across the Soviet and Soviet-affiliated parts of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Following the collapse of state socialism, the newly postsocialist states began to transition towards democracy and implemented a series of neoliberal reforms. Often referred to as “postsocialist transitions,” this epoch was eventful, experientially diverse, and often rather intense.
