Do not forget/Ne Zaboravi Srebrenica is the title and the objective of Luciano D’Angelo’s photography exhibition, with texts by Edvige Ricci, designed and organised on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the Srebrenica genocide and the end of the Balkan war.
In continuity with the initiatives of Fondazione Benetton connected to the International Carlo Scarpa Garden Prize 2014, dedicated to the Bosnian villages of Osmače and Brežani, on the plateau above Srebrenica, the exhibition is open to the public in the exhibition spaces of Palazzo Bomben on Saturday, 23rd January 2016 at 5.30 pm, with the lecture Twenty years after Srebrenica. European women on a journey: the importance of sharing memories.
Two young Bosnian women take part in the inauguration of the exhibition — Azra Fetahović, teacher, and Nina Delalić, law graduate — who lived through the diaspora in Italy, where they still live. They are joined by Šehida Abdurahmanović, one of the Women of Sreberenica and among the most active supporters of her city’s rebirth.
