The art historical research project Artistic Strategies to Re-View History since the 1990s (short title: Images of History in Contemporary Art), funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation in Bern, explores artistic reflections of historical imaginaries since the end of the Cold War.

The project was initialized in Basel in 2017 and has been transferred to the University of Potsdam in 2022.
