AGE originates from the need to fill the memory lapse which for decades, in Italy and in Europe, has characterized the history of the persecutions and exterminations committed in the Soviet Gulag camps.

This is the aim of all the different educational and scientific activities which, starting from December 2013 and continuing for the following 18 months, have been carried out along with the exhibition “Gulag” by photographer Tomas Kizny in the cities of Macerata, Ascoli Piceno, Bolzano and Vilnius.

The European dimension of the project is the result of its spreading among three different countries: Italy, Lithuania and Great Britain. Italy is the country which has hosted the photographic exhibition in different locations. Lithuania has intervened with its experts as part of the events organized around the exhibition.
