Although we hear from various sources that reconciliation is impossible and that there is no readiness for dealing with the past, the exhibition \u201cWar of Memories\u201d organised by the Centre for Nonviolent Action (Sarajevo-Belgrade) tells a different story.
\nThe exhibition in Tuzla testifies to a readiness to engage in constructive dialogue. It is the first in the second tour of exhibitions featuring photographs of marked and unmarked sites of suffering in Bosnia and Herzegovina, which resulted from extensive research by CNA within the project of \u201cWar Monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina since 1991\u201d.<\/p>\n

After being on display in Sarajevo, Mostar, Banja Luka, Biha\u0107 and Belgrade in the first tour, the second tour of the exhibition opened in Tuzla on 21 February, at the Tuzla Canton Bosnian Cultural Centre.
\nThe second tour will present the \u201cWar of Memories\u201d exhibition and its monograph to citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia.
\nAfter Tuzla, where it will be on display until 4 March, the exhibition will go to Br\u010dko and then to Sisak.<\/p>\n

\nAt the Tuzla opening, members of the Centre for Nonviolent Action (Sarajevo Belgrade), Davorka Turk and Nenad Vukosavljevi\u0107, who recorded the monuments in Bosnia and Herzegovina together with Ned\u017ead Horozovi\u0107, spoke about memorialisation policy, the way we remember, attitudes towards victims, enemies and the past. They also referred to CNA\u2019s mission to build lasting peace by promoting a culture of nonviolence that they have been pursuing for the past twenty years, with one of their primary tasks being communication with war veterans and their networking. It was precisely the encounters of veterans and joint visits to sites of suffering that gave rise to the idea of documenting memorials, monuments and unmarked sites of suffering.
\nThe whole project aims to provide an overview of the dominant modes of memorialisation from an ethnic perspective, in the hopes of opening up the possibility to change the existing concept and thereby ensure that injustice, pain and war are never repeated.<\/p>\n

These same wishes were also expressed by representatives of the host city, Ned\u017eada Avdi\u0107, a delegate in the Cantonal Assembly, Jasmin Imamovi\u0107, Mayor of Tuzla, and Edis Baji\u0107, Director of the Bosnian Cultural Centre, all of whom spoke at the exhibition opening and thanked the organisers for bringing this important exhibition to the citizens of Tuzla.<\/p>\n

The interest of the public and the media for the Tuzla exhibition is encouraging and confirms the existence of an awareness that dialogue and making connections are the basic preconditions for the reconciliation process.<\/p>\n
