Kathrin Pabst (2022)

Are there any secrets in your family? “Something” that nobody would talk about?

Did you know that feelings such as fear, shame and loneliness can come from traumatic events passed on from one generation to the next? Did you know that trauma experienced by your parents or grandparents can be inside of you, even if you have never heard about them?

Ethnologist, researcher and author Dr Kathrin Pabst has broad experience in both the practical and theoretical sides of working with challenging, sensitive, or taboo-related subjects. At TEDxArendal she will share her thoughts on how we deal with traumatic experiences and how museums can play an active part in the discovery.
