Bearing Witness: The Impact of Memorialization
In this podcast series produced by Andrew W. Mellon Fellow Dr. Stephanie Arel and award winning documentary filmmaker Jessica Daugherty, we will speak with museum and memorial workers including curators, collectors, writers, and directors about the impacts their work at memorial sites has on communities and themselves to investigate the importance of the roles they play in society. The podcast is a continuation of Dr. Arel's research, and is a companion podcast to her book Bearing Witness: The Wounds of Mass Trauma at Memorial Museums.
Bearing Witness: The Impact of Memorialization
Bearing Witness: Galerija 11/07/95 in Sarajevo
It is once again a bustling, modern European city, but in 1995, Sarajevo was ravaged by Serbian forces during the Bosnian War of the 1990's. For four years, the Serbian military surrounded the city playing target practice with its citizens. In this episode, we speak with Nejra Mulaomerovic whose home stood on the front lines and we learn about her love of photography, her commitment to truth-telling, and her efforts at honoring memory.
This episode is brought to you by Dr. Stephanie Arel and produced by Shrine13.
