Talk: Cups of Memory conversations at Kunstmuseum Den Haag

Which traumatic events from the past do we commemorate as a society? And how does a community build a monument for an act of genocide that some would prefer to have wiped from our memories?

On 11 July 2025 it will be exactly 30 years since the genocide in Srebrenica took place. In Cups of Memory architect Arna Mačkić (Studio L A) and artist Aida Šehović (ŠTO TE NEMA), both survivors of the Bosnian War (1992-1995), present a new interpretation of remembrance.

Cups of Memory Conversations delves deeper into the questions raised by the exhibition. Director Margriet Schavemaker will speak with Mačkić and Šehović about their work. In addition, several guests will join the conversation, including cultural historian and co-founder of Sites of Memory Jennifer Tosch, and former Chief Government Architect Floris Alkemade.
