Wed 9 July : Professor Rughani is a panellist in discussion on: Innovative Practices of Memorialization and Living Together After Conflict.
The 2025 Why Remember? Testimonies of Light conference marks 30 years since the Srebrenica genocide, and the events of the Bosnian War, which resulted in the signing of the Dayton Accords in late 1995. This year’s conference reflects on how these defining events continue to shape memory, reconciliation, and peacebuilding in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as other post-conflict societies throughout the world. As we commemorate this significant anniversary, we will also pay tribute to the legacy of Professor Paul Lowe (1963- 2024), the conference series’ founder and internationally acclaimed conflict photographer.
