Twenty-five objects, exhibited with stories about them, set in motion a collective effort towards the reactivation of the memory of CZKD, as a resource of civil society and independent culture in the region of former Yugoslavia.

The project “Diversity in Culture and Activism” is supported by EU/IPA – Civil Society Facility. In the two-year period (2020/21), the project will use forms of culture as a means to expand the public space in which civil society organizations and citizens can freely participate in public discourse, advocacy, community-building and decision-making on issues affecting Serbia’s democratization, regional relations and European Union integration.
