Public memory of war victims is often dominated by ethnocentric narratives as a national strategy, emphasizing the scale of crimes of Other while marginalizing one’s own. What’s missing seems to be not only a moral reckoning but also a continuous historical-didactic, pedagogical, media, museological, and aesthetic debate as the foundation for creating a memory culture that includes remembering the crimes committed in our own name. In this episode, we discuss the aesthetics of activism in acts, practices, and works connected to memory culture and contemporary political and social activism in post-Yugoslav societies with Dr. Igor Štiks.
