WHO WE ARE

ŠTO TE NEMA [pron. “SHTO TAE NAEMA”, Eng. “Where Have You Been?”] is a nonprofit organization dedicated to challenging the normalization of mass atrocities that grew out of a nomadic monument to the Srebrenica Genocide. Based in Sarajevo and New York City, we work with partners and collaborators all over Europe and North America to create spaces for healing, mourning, and resistance through art, education, and activism.

2025 PROGRAMMING

As the 30th commemoration of the Srebrenica Genocide approaches, ŠTO TE NEMA is offering a wide range of programming internationally throughout the months of May, June, and July.

BERLIN and GRAZ in JUNE

We invite you to join us for upcoming screenings of our film Where Have You Been—each followed by a discussion with artist Aida Šehović and special guests—as well as for programs related to our exhibition Spatium Memoriae.

  • 13 June | 10 AM – 5 PM Interactive Performance at Akademie Graz

    IN RESPONSE TO THE TRAGEDY IN GRAZ ON 10 JUNE, WE BELIEVE IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER TO CREATE SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO MOURN, REMEMBER, AND STAND AGAINST ALL FORMS OF VIOLENCE TOGETHER.

    WE ARE DEEPLY MINDFUL OF THE PAIN AND WEIGHT OF THOSE CLOSEST AFFECTED. WITH THIS IN MIND, THE INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE OF SPATIUM MEMORIAE [ŠTO TE NEMA] WILL TAKE PLACE AS PLANNED.

    ART CAN BE USED AS A TOOL TO FOSTER SOLIDARITY AND CONNECTION. PLEASE JOIN US ON FRIDAY FOR THE INTERACTIVE PERFORMANCE, AND AT 7 P.M., IN LIEU OF AN OPENING, FOR AN OPEN REFLECTION AND DISCUSSION ON GRIEF, LOSS, AND HOW WE CAN CARE FOR ONE ANOTHER AS A COMMUNITY.

    ➔ Admission is free. Reserve your ticket HERE

  • 30 June | 5 PM Srebrenica, 30 Years Later - Evening of Discussion at Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung

Spatium Memoriae presents an archive of the monument made up of original fildžani cups collected over 15 years. The cups are displayed in an archival system inspired by the methodology of the International Commission on Missing Persons, symbolically pointing to the tragic reality that remains are still being discovered in mass graves throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Spatium Memoriae is not only a space for remembrance, but a space for learning and dealing with the past. The exhibition reminds us that war, mass violence and human rights violations - 30 years after the genocide in Srebrenica - remain a global threat. In that context, art becomes a tool of resistance, prevention, and healing.
