German artists Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock will come to Melbourne to launch a recreation of their installation Bus Stop at Melbourne Holocaust Museum (MHM) on 5 March.
Originally conceived in 1995 as an alternative to a static Holocaust memorial in Berlin, Bus Stop is a mobile sculpture that enables the public to actively commemorate the Holocaust by engaging with former sites of Nazi atrocities, fostering active commemoration through the integration of place and information.
