The last week of August, we spent a wonderful time in Srebrenica, hosted by Adopt organization at their Documentation Center. We worked with artists Ibro Hasanović and Vladimir Miladinović on a two-day workshop with youth from Srebrenica and the surrounding areas, focusing on the theme of “The Art of Archive”. We explored the significance of Adopt’s archive as a vital repository of historical information, accessible to and crucial for the broader public.
During the International Week of Srebrenica, our guest artists demonstrated how visual arts can become a key tool in processing and preserving individual and collective memories, dealing with the past, and fostering understanding among people. We were deeply moved by the talented youth who worked with great skill on visual materials, producing drawings and short videos based on the Documentation Center’s precious materials.
