WHO WE ARE

ŠTO TE NEMA [pron. “SHTO TAE NAEMA,” Eng. “Where Have You Been?”] is a nonprofit organization based in Sarajevo and New York City dedicated to challenging the normalization of mass atrocities. Originating as a participatory nomadic monument to the Srebrenica Genocide that traveled to 15 cities worldwide between 2006 and 2020, it evolved into a nonprofit registered in the U.S. in 2021 and Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2022.  We work with partners across Europe and North America to create spaces for healing, mourning, and resistance through art, education, and activism.

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.
