U novom #GenMemory članku analiziramo fenomen murala Ratku Mladiću u Beogradu, ali i širi društveni kontekst negiranja sudski utvrđenih činjenica, glorifikacije ratnih zločinaca i otpora koji pružaju aktivisti, umjetnici i organizacije civilnog društva. 🗣️ Uz komentare Aide Ćorović, Dubravke Stojanović, Marijane Stojčić, Dalie Koler i Ognjena Ćirića, članak istražuje kako javni prostor postaje mjesto sukoba između revizionizma i borbe za odgovornost, empatiju i suočavanje s prošlošću. 📍Od murala i grafita do školskih udžbenika i kulture sjećanja, članak otvara pitanja o tome kako mladi danas uče o ratovima 1990-ih i kakve posljedice imaju dominantni nacionalistički narativi. 🔗 tinyurl.com/szy98s5j #GenerationMemory projekt je podržan sredstvima 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, a implementira se u partnerstvu sa @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦 📷 @YIHRSrbija #GenMemory #sjecanje #mladi #aktivizam

In the new #GenMemory article, we analyze the phenomenon of the Ratko Mladić mural in Belgrade. In addition, we highlight the wider social context of the denial of court established facts, the glorification of war criminals, and the resistance provided by activists, artists, and civil society organizations. 🗣️ With comments by Aida Ćorović, Dubravka Stojanović, Marijana Stojčić, Dalia Koler and Ognjen Ćirić, the article explores how public space becomes a place of conflict between revisionism and the struggle for responsibility, empathy and dealing with the past. 📍From murals and graffiti to school textbooks and the culture of memory, the article raises questions about how young people today learn about the wars in the 1990s and what consequences dominant nationalist narratives have. 🔗 tinyurl.com/ztsu9tzu The #GenerationMemory project is supported by funds from 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK , and is implemented in partnership with the @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦 📷 @YIHRSrbija #GenMemory #memorialization #youth #activism

Across Bosnia and Herzegovina, monumental concrete forms rise from forests, hillsides, and abandoned parks as silent witnesses to one of Europe's defining struggles. Built to commemorate anti-fascist resistance during the Second World War, these memorials once stood at the heart of a shared culture of remembrance. Today, many face neglect, vandalism, and competing interpretations of the past. What do these monuments tell us about memory, identity, and the society we are becoming? In our latest #GenMemory article, we explore the history, architecture, and uncertain future of Bosnia and Herzegovina's anti-fascist memorial heritage. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4mzt6vp8 The #GenerationMemory project is supported by 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, and is implemented in partnership with the @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦 #GenMemory #memorialization #youth #activism

Širom Bosne i Hercegovine, velelepne betonske forme uzdižu se iz šuma, s padina brda i iz napuštenih parkova kao nijemi svjedoci jedne od najvažnijih borbi u evropskoj istoriji. Izgrađeni u čast antifašističkog otpora tokom Drugog svjetskog rata, ovi spomenici nekada su bili u središtu zajedničke kulture sjećanja. Danas se mnogi suočavaju sa zanemarivanjem, vandalizmom i različitim tumačenjima prošlosti.Šta nam ovi spomenici govore o sjećanju, identitetu i društvu kakvo gradimo? U našem najnovijem #GenMemory članku istražujemo istoriju, arhitekturu i neizvjesnu budućnost antifašističke memorijalne baštine Bosne i Hercegovine. 🔗 tinyurl.com/2y73ftn3 Projekat #GenerationMemory podržava 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, a realizuje se u partnerstvu sa @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦 #GenMemory #memorijalizacija #mladi #aktivizam

Is it possible, within a divided political and social system, to commemorate places where detainees and camp prisoners suffered without politicization and legal obstacles? In the new #GenMemory article, Iris Knežević and Enis Mlivić write about former detention sites - Silos near Hadžići, Sušica Camp in Vlasenica, Heliodrom Camp in Mostar, and NK Iskra Stadium in Bugojno. What all four camps have in common is the existence of court verdicts confirming what happened there and what the surviving detainees endured. 🗣️ Featuring comments from former camp detainees and representatives of detainee associations, including Janko Samouković, Sadžida Hasić, Seid Omerović, Miroslav Zelić, Mario Mostarac, and Emir Hajdarević, as well as Professor Ivo Josipović and Amer Delić (Center for Nonviolent Action). 🔗 tinyurl.com/3rpckbjn The #GenerationMemory project is supported by 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK and implemented in partnership with @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦 📷 Mirko Pincelli / #PinchMedia #memorialization #remembrance #camps #Silos #Sušica #Heliodrom #StadionNKIskra #BritishEmbassySarajevo

Da li je, u podijeljenom političkom i društvenom sistemu, moguće obilježiti mjesta stradanja zatočenika i logoraša bez politizacije i zakonskih prepreka? U novom #GenMemory članku Iris Knežević i Enis Mlivić pišu o bivšim mjestima zatočenja - Silos kod Hadžića, Sušica u Vlasenici, Heliodrom u Mostaru i Stadion NK Iskra u Bugojnu. Zajedničko za sva četiri logora su postojanje sudskih presuda koje potvrđuju ono što se dešavalo i šta su preživjeli logoraši. 🗣️Uz komentare bivših logoraša i predstavnika udruženja logoraša uključujući Janka Samoukovića, Sadžidu Hasić, Seida Omerovića, Miroslava Zelića, Maria Mostarca i Emira Hajdarević, te profesora Ive Josipovića i Amera Delića (Centar za nenasilnu akciju). 🔗tinyurl.com/pyvx9p4n #GenerationMemory projekt je podržan sredstvima 🇬🇧 International Development, a implementira se u partnerstvu sa @BritishCouncil🇧🇦. 📷Mirko Pincelli / Pinch Media #memorijalizacija #sjecanje #logori #Silos #Susica #Heliodrom #StadionNK @JulianReillyUK

After three days of learning about memorialization and remembrance, our #GenerationMemory youth utilized their new knowledge by imagining and creating the memorials they would like to see in their communities. Their ideas included victims of femicide, Roma who died in the war, and survivors and victims of wartime sexual violence in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the world. During the workshop, led by our Founder and President @VelmaSaric, the participants had the opportunity to reflect, discuss and present their vision of an inclusive culture of memory through creative teamwork. "The workshop on the creation of memorials was very interesting and inspiring. With the great atmosphere, we touched on so many topics that are not talked about enough, and which are important for preserving the memory of those who deserve it", Aid Šehić, 17, Bugojno.

Nakon tri dana učenja o memorijalizaciji i sjećanju, naši #GenerationMemory mladi iskoristili su stečeno znanje zamišljajući i kreirajući spomenike koje bi željeli vidjeti u svojim zajednicama. Njihove ideje uključivale su žrtve femicida, Rome koji su poginuli u ratu te preživjele i žrtve ratnog seksualnog nasilja u Bosni i Hercegovini i svijetu. Tokom radionice, koju je vodila naša osnivačica i predsjednica @VelmaSaric, mladi su imali priliku promisliti, raspravljati i predstaviti svoju viziju inkluzivne kulture sjećanja kroz kreativni timski rad. "Radionica o izgradnji spomenika je bila veoma zanimljiva i inspirativna. Kroz sjajnu atmosferu dotakli smo se mnogih tema o kojima se ne priča dovoljno, a koje su važne za očuvanje sjećanja na one koji to zaslužuju", Aid Šehić, 17, Bugojno #GenMemory projekt je podržan sredstvima 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, a implementira se u partnerstvu sa @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦. #PCRBIH #FestivalMira #mladi #Bosna #mir #kulturasjećanja

"Inclusive memorialization means looking back and constantly remembering the past and perceiving it exclusively through court established facts, without even a pinch of historical revisionism and relativization of war crimes," Adem Ajdin, 18, Ilijaš, participant in #MIRFest 🏛The memorialization process in Bosnia and Herzegovina shows how important the culture of memory is as something that significantly influences the building of our relationship with the recent past. "What is important is to bring an open mind, compassion and understanding. These are difficult things, difficult topics we deal with. We all grew up differently, but it is important to take that moment of openness with us", Filip Spasojević, 21, Teslić, participant of the Peace Festival 2026 Considering the importance of introducing young people to the culture of remembrance, we took #GenMemory participants to two places of suffering in #Vitez, to Ahmići - where 116 Bosniaks were killed on 16.04.1993, and to the Osmica memorial - where eight children of Croatian nationality were killed on 10.06.1993.

''Inkluzivna memorijalizacija znači osvrtanje i konstantno sjećanje na prošlost te sagledavanje iste isključivo kroz sudski utvrđene činjenice, bez ikakve doze historijskog revizionizma i relativizacije ratnih zločina", Adem Ajdin, 18, Ilijaš, učesnik #MIRFest 🏛Proces memorijalizacije u Bosni i Hercegovini pokazuje koliko je kultura sjećanja važno pitanje koje bitno utiče na izgradnju našeg odnosa prema nedavnoj prošlosti. "Ono što je bitno je da sa sobom ponesemo otvoren um, suosjećanje i razumijevanje. Ovo su teške stvari, teške su teme, svi smo mi odrasli različito ali je bitno da sa sobom ponesemo taj momenat otvorenosti", Filip Spasojević, 21, Teslić, učesnika Festivala mira 2026 Imajući u vidu važnost upoznavanja mladih sa spomeničkom kulturom sjećanja, #GenMemory učesnike odveli smo na dva mjesta stradnja u #Vitez, u Ahmiće - gdje je 16.04.1993. ubijeno 116 bošnjaka, i na spomenik Osmicu - gdje je 10.06.1993. ubijeno osmero djece hrvatske nacionalnosti. #GenMemory projekt je podržan sredstvima 🇬🇧 @FCDOGovUK, a implementira se u partnerstvu sa @BritishCouncil 🇧🇦. #PCRCBiH #FestivalMira #mladi #Bosna #mir #kulturasjecanja
