Posttraumatic Growth and Memorial Spaces: Exploring Potential in the Aceh Tsunami Museum, Banda Aceh, Indonesia
This paper explores the potential of physical memorial and museum spaces as locations that can foster community-wide posttraumatic growth in the wake of catastrophic disasters. The role of memorial and museum spaces in fostering affect and meaning-making is considered for the purpose of developing an assessment tool to evaluate whether a memorial/museum fosters posttraumatic growth. That tool is then used to assess a particular location, the Aceh Tsunami Museum in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.
