On Community and Deinstitutionalisation Beyond Gardens and Enclosures. Proceedings of the Museum of Madness
The first volume of the Museum of Madness is here, with academic and professional articles and reflections on what is still missing in the community so that we can talk about solidarity, about community life and so that people who live in institutions because they are disabled and disadvantaged can return from there, and so that others who are still living at home do not have to go there. The articles and reflections are a continuation and a follow-up of the discussions we started at the Alpe Adria Danube Network on Deinstitutionalisation conference in June 2021 at Cmurek Castle in Trate.

24 Sep 2022: Borderless - a social gathering and film evening
It's been an incredible seven years since we experienced an extraordinary time of open borders in Styria. Some of us arrived in Radgona or Šentilj after a long flight, others were there with warm tea, soup and baby diapers to humanely support people on their way. Many life paths crossed then, many of us stayed connected.
10 Sep 2022: Opening of the Endless Meadows of Madness
On 10 September 2022, we will be opening a new permanent exhibition on the history of life and work in the former mental and nervous institution at Trate. The new exhibition gives a voice to the former workers, the people who survived the institution at Trate and their relatives who came to Trate to see their loved ones. It offers a glimpse into a world that is largely unknown to most of us, and calls on us to work together to develop services in the community, in the home, where people usually live, or at home.
