Remembering the Others is a documentary about the meaning and power of public monuments in Kosovo. Who has the privilege to be represented in monuments? Why are there almost no monuments dedicated to women in Kosovo? Which other groups of people are denied representation in monuments? If the stories of marginalized groups are hushed, the canonised stories remain undisputed, thus creating a situation where some privileged groups are given access to top positions in the society, whereas others are erased and pushed into oblivion.

20:00 – 20:40 Open Q & A discussion with interviewees featured at Remembering the Others. Venue: Boxing Club
