Campaign Mediums: Photography of Vraca Memorial Park and interviews with local youth
Social Media Platform: Instagram (primary) and Facebook (secondary)

Campaign Overview:  In a post-conflict society such as BiH, we can find many examples of divisive and extremist historical narratives. Contested memorials and monuments often serve to perpetuate such narratives, which poses a significant problem, especially for BiH’s future generations. However, memorials can also serve as a source of unification The #MonumentForAll campaign tells the story of the Vraca Memorial Park in an effort to remind BiH’s youth that sources of unification from the past do exist and that young people should not allow divisive historical narratives to dictate their future.
