The Virtual Exhibition “Remnants of Genocide” is a project by Remembering Srebrenica as part of the series of commemorations to mark the 25th anniversary of the Bosnian genocide. The aim of the exhibition was to provide a platform for Bosnian genocide and war survivors to share their stories, grief, and trauma in a creative manner. Beyond creativity, this project serves as a testimonial of those that survived and witnessed the worst atrocity on European soil since the Second World War. 25 years have passed since the genocide in Srebrenica that saw the systematic murder of over 8,000 Bosnian Muslims, as well as tens of thousands of other lives in the areas of Sarajevo, Foča, Mostar, Prijedor, Višegrad, Zvornik, and throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina. Throughout the war over 100,000 people were murdered, more than 2 million Bosnians displaced, thousands tortured and an estimated 20,000 - 50,000 Bosnian women were victims of rape and sexual violence. While it has been 25 years since those events, the pain and trauma of genocide continues to affect Bosnians throughout the world. Our hope is that through the exhibition “Remnants of Genocide” people all over the world will bear witness to the suffering and horrors experienced by those that survived the war and genocide.

This exhibition includes testimonies, poetry, and creative works from survivors as well as paintings by internationally renowned UNSECO IRLA affiliate artists and people who worked in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

We wish to thank everyone that shared their stories with Remembering Srebrenica and with that brave action contributed to the creation of this exhibition.
