HBCBFTW AR

HBCBFTW (“Her Boyfriend Came Back From the War”) is a project by curator Valentina Peri as part of “Beyond Matter Eu”, a practice-based international research project that takes cultural heritage to the verge of VR.
HBCBFTW brings together, through augmented reality, Valentina Peri's grandfather's photographic archive and the correspondence between her grandparents at the time of WWII with her recent research in Albania on the traces of this same archive. The exhibition, curated by Tirana Art Lab and curator Adela Demetja, runs from June 25 to August 30, 2022 at the Tulla Culture Centre in Tirana, Albania.
Visitors will experience the project through augmented postcards that will be physically on display. They will use the AR app inside the exhibition space, outside by taking the printed map listing all the postcards with them, or by visiting the dedicated website www.hbcbftw.com.
