In its focus are civic, artistic, curatorial, and scientific practices of preserving antifascist values, as well as the issues of historic revisionism, social amnesia and destruction of material heritage and social values.\r\n\r\nThe first part of the project, presented in October 2019 in the gallery \"Galerija Nova\" and in the premises of the Serb Cultural Society \"Prosvjeta\" in Zagreb, speaks about artists\u2019 continued critical response to social deviations that emerged in the 2000 \u2014 2019 period and encompasses works of thirty Croatian female and male artists. The authors represented at the exhibition \u201cWhen Monuments Come Alive\u201d are Darije Petkovi\u0107, Tomislav Pletenac, Mladen Stilinovi\u0107, Pasko Bur\u0111elez, Luiza Margan, Igor Grubi\u0107, Marko Markovi\u0107, Slaven Tolj, Sanja Ivekovi\u0107, Tanja Dabo, Bo\u017eena Kon\u010di\u0107 Badurina, Zoran Paveli\u0107, Miro Vuco, Dalibor Martinis, Sini\u0161a Labrovi\u0107, \u017deljko Badurina, Neli Ru\u017ei\u0107, Gildo Bav\u010devi\u0107 and Antej Jeleni\u0107, Jana Dabac, Sandro \u0110uki\u0107, Boris Vidakovi\u0107, Bojan Mr\u0111enovi\u0107, Alem Korkut, Marko Markovi\u0107, Davor Mezak, Nika Radi\u0107, Andro Damjani\u0107 and Tomislav Gotovac.\r\n\r\nThe exhibition is divided in two parts. The first part, \u201cWhen Monuments Come Alive\u201d, deals with problems related to historic revisionism, social amnesia, destruction of material heritage and social paradigm. The second part, \u201cWhen Monuments Come Alive II<\/strong>\u201d, shines a light on the issues of factory closures, uncontrolled disappearance and systematic destruction of architectural and monumental\u00a0 heritage of socialism. It also highlights some phenomena related to the social structure through works of art which record and critically reflect them. The exhibition problematises the current situation in the society, revisionism, normalisation of fascism and criminalisation of the society. The intention is to issue a bilingual publication with the works of the artists represented at the exhibition. The publication would contain different approaches to monuments, personal poetic approaches, the engraining of the collective memory into the media and public space, and radically critical approaches.\r\n\r\nWithin the \u201cRefreshing Memory\u201d project, we launched an initiative to renovate monuments to the People\u2019s Liberation Struggle of the Second World War and the victims of Fascist terror. Presumptions that monuments can be renovated were encouraged by calls or accepted proposals for renovation from local self-governments and expressed interest by local antifascist associations. Among them are: the \u201cMonument to the National Hero Stjepan Filipovi\u0107\u201d in Opuzen, work of the\u00a0 sculptors Miro Vuco and Stjepan Gra\u010dan, erected in 1978 and blown up in 1991, \u201cMonument to the Uprising of the People from Biokovo-Neretva and Central Dalmatian Islands\u201d, work of the sculptor Antun Augustin\u010di\u0107, unveiled in 1972 in Gradac and mined in 1992, and the initiative for renovation of the memorial area in Gudovac near Bjelovar, where next to the ossuary there was a monument by Vojin Baki\u0107 named \u201cBefore Execution\u201d, erected in 1954, blown up in 1991 and stolen in 2010. Through initiatives for renovation we are getting closer to the concept of \u2018a monument to the monument\u2019 \u2013 because of the physical impossibility to return the monument to the original spot, destruction of its environment, devastation of the sculpture itself, the fact that it has been melted or that it has disappeared.\r\n\r\nAs part of the \u201cRefreshing Memory\u201d project, some 85,000 slides from the 1960s to 1980s, owned by the \"Turistkomerc\" publishing house, have been researched and scanned.\r\n\r\nAbout a thousand photographs of monuments to the Peoples\u2019 Liberation Struggle, to the workers\u2019 movement and the revolution, have also been scanned and catalogued. This material can be viewed on the project\u2019s web-page.\r\n\r\nThe particular value of this photo-archive is in the materials that are difficult to access: from panoramic shots of memorial areas and landscapes of cities with monuments, to wide-shots of monuments from different angles and specific, rarely seen details of monuments. The archive also contains photos which reflect the socio-cultural context \u2013 e.g. photographs with visitors, photos of the scenography of particular events near monuments, banners, landscaping , monuments at their best, recorded moments of tourist and school visits to memorial areas, celebrations, nearby amenities, \u00a0and characteristic iconographic details of flags, wreathes, clothes, equipment or vehicles from that period. All this gives the database its specific character, as it provides a more palpable image of the life of the monuments than the one that has been presented in Europe and in America over the past years through photographic materials, brutalist and purged of sociological context.\r\n\r\nApart from the database, also collected were other materials connected to the research, which are being prepared for publication on the web-page.

The focus of the conference is on social-political conditions and models of cultural (dis) inheritance, on a \u00a0change of paradigms, laws and institutional frameworks, on becoming familiar with heritage practices related to initiatives of local communities and individuals, and on other critical-activist practices which came about because of a lack of activity by relevant institutions.

For every graffiti that has been found a report is filed with relevant institutions and time needed to act on each case is measured, as well as the efficiency and the will of the system to win the battle against hatred and violence in the public space. Letters have been sent to state institutions, ministries, and judicial institutions with a question about hate speech, hate-mongering, and the iconography from criminal periods in Croatian history. We also expect their official statement as to whether these contents and acts are prohibited by laws and the Constitution in the Republic of Croatia. The letter and the answers will be published after the expiry of the legal deadline for the response. The project Refreshing Memory of the association “Vizura aperta” is supported by the Council of the Serb National Minority of the city of Zagreb (VSNM), Serb National Council (SNV) and the foundation Kultura Nova. The project\u2019s author is Davorka Peri\u0107.","og_url":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/refreshing-memories\/","og_site_name":"Srpsko Narodno Vije\u0107e - SNV","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/refreshing-memories\/","url":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/refreshing-memories\/","name":"Arhiva Refreshing memory - Srpsko Narodno Vije\u0107e - SNV","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#website"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/refreshing-memories\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/refreshing-memories\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Po\u010detna stranica","item":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"News","item":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Initiatives","item":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/news\/initiatives\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Refreshing memory"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#website","url":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/","name":"Srpsko Narodno Vije\u0107e - SNV","description":"Just another WordPress site","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#organization","name":"Srpsko Narodno Vije\u0107e - SNV","url":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SNV_logo_RGB-01.svg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/SNV_logo_RGB-01.svg","width":1417,"height":259,"caption":"Srpsko Narodno Vije\u0107e - SNV"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/106"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/snv.hr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
