This year\, in the context of the thirtieth anniversaries of both the Srebrenica Genocide on July 11\, 1995\, and the ratification of t he Dayton Peace Agreement on November 21\, 1995\, presents an opportunity to explore the visual memory politics of post-Yugoslav countries – most of them still in a state of neoliberal “transition” – in relation to each other. Attending to the iconographic\, narrative\, aesthetic and art historical embeddedness of the various displays of memory\, whether they take the form of a public memorial\, a graffito\, an exhibition or another kind of intervention\, we are looking at instances of politics – both p ast and contemporary – becoming visible. We also ask after the infrastru ctures and administration of such memories\, and their (geo)political enta nglements. While we are interested in case studies that memorialize a rang e of historical events\, we are especially interested in case studies from after 1999 and the last decade.
