Yugoslav Wars
The violent dissolution of Yugoslavia in 1990 instigated wars in Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kosovo. The violence in Srebrenica in 1995 brought genocide back to Europe, and from that time, remembrance of the wars has been divided. The Yugoslav Wars SCVN research cluster will interrogate state-sponsored histories of these conflicts and their commemorative practices, focusing on how gender-based experiences violence have been erased from the narrative. This research cluster will create two graphic narratives, accounting for how gender-based violence is remembered both publicly and privately.
