“Targeting History and Memory” / Reports from all the events

During 2016, 2017, and 2018, thanks to the support from the European Union under the programme Europe for Citizens, activities for the project “Targeting History and Memory” were carried out, based on the interactive narrative Targeting History and Memory.

At the end of 2016, the interactive narrative “Targeting History and Memory,” by Sense – Centre for Transitional Justice, was presented in several cities in countries of the former Yugoslavia.

This was followed by the exhibition “Targeting Monuments – Targeting History and Memory,” which was held in Zagreb (Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts), Belgrade (Centre for Cultural Decontamination), Sarajevo (Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina), Pula (SENSE – Centre for Transitional Justice), and The Hague (Atrium of the City Hall). The exhibitions in Sarajevo and The Hague were opened by Judge Carmel Agius, the President of the ICTY, and the one in Pula by Serge Brammertz, the Chief Prosecutor of the ICTY and the UN Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals, with participation of war crime prosecutors from Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The aforementioned EU programme enabled us to connect the exhibition with a study trip (Sarajevo – Mostar – Dubrovnik), as well as a regional seminar for high-school history teachers from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Serbia.

Here you can find the reports from all the events withing the framework of the project “Targeting History and Memory” with accompanying links in English and Croatian.

On Saturday, October 14, 2017 at the SENSE Centre in Pula (3 Dante Square) at 9 AM the international conference Destroying Cultural Heritage, Post-War Reconstruction, and Trust Building began. Its goal was to analise what has been done in the last two decades and what has been learnt about the importance of cultural and religious heritage in war conflicts, and which challenges still remain regarding the reconstruction of cultural heritage, post-war peace-building,  and the problems of divided societies in the region of South-East Europe.

October 13, 2017 / SENSE DOCUMENTATION CENTER OPENS IN PULA /

SENSE documentation center will be a unique place where the events that took place in the former Yugoslavia in the 1990s will be shown through the history of the trials before the ICTY, and SENSE's audio-visual archive about the work of the Tribunal will "tell a story" about the events that shaped the history of the former Yugoslavia, said the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia Serge Brammertz at the opening of the SENSE – Center for Transitional Justice in Pula. On the same occasion, the exhibition called Targeting Monuments was opened at the Centre's premises. The exhibition is based on the interactive narrative Targeting history and memory, produced by SENSE Centre. The narrative elaborates how crimes against cultural, historical, and religious heritage, committed during the wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo in the 1990s, were investigated, reconstructed, and prosecuted at the ICTY.
