For survivors and victims’ families, memorials have a profound significance, but this meaning often does not extend beyond individual communities. Although this form of commemoration is important, experts warn that alone, it is insufficient for dealing with the past.
At the round table “Dealing with the Past as a Prerequisite for a Safer Future,” held in Sarajevo to mark the 32nd anniversary of the crimes near the Kazani pit, panelists reflected on the importance of documenting war crimes, promoting inclusive memorialization, and identifying steps toward a brighter future grounded in respect for the experiences of all.
As part of the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide, the exhibition Majke/Mothers and the art installation Mother’s Scarf were held at the Sarajevo City Hall from July 7th to 14th.
