Shows, presentations, workshop-demonstrations, experiments, discussions

Before its formalization in the social sciences and a form of collected knowledge, history was part of a larger-than-life story transmitted from one generation to the next. Today, how can we tell the story of the past in a way that sparks the curiosity of people who are less familiar with history? In what forms? Traditional or contemporary, vulgarized or academic? Poetic and artistic? Provocative or audacious? Shows, presentations, workshop-demonstrations, experiments, discussions
