Duhovi Upora, Spirits of Resistance is a collaborative, transnational exhibition project between artists and cultural workers from Hamburg and the Museum/Muzej Peršmanhof (AT) since 2023. It comprises an exhibition and a public program that illuminates the memories of anti-fascist resistance, resilience, and the legacy of Carinthian-Slovenian female partisans from a contemporary perspective. The project takes up the repressed stories surrounding the Peršmanhof Museum in Austria and opens up a space to reflect on resistance across generations and geographies today.
