How do Americans relate to their architecture, history, and memory? What meanings do they attach to old buildings? Why do they speak so confidently about the past? And what does it have to do with us, Belarusians?
In this session, historian Stepan Stureiko will share his impressions and reflections after traveling across 10 U.S. states and dozens of cities. This is not just a tour of landmarks, but an expert’s perspective on how Americans perceive their history and culture.
What awaits you?

- Answers to the questions: How do Americans relate to their past, and what can we learn from this for ourselves?
