Dear,
We are to inform, on Thursday, 18. May 2006 at 06:00 p.m., take part at official opening of Travelling Festival on Human Rights - VIVISECTfest in Mostar (OKC Abrasevic, street Alekse Santica No 25).
Non-governmental organisation Vojvodjanka - "Regional Women's Initiative" has initiated the organisation of Festival on Human Rights - VIVISECTfest (www.vivisectfest.net.ms), with intention to develop annual educational and art forum for presentations and discussions to topics of human rights. The first Festival on Human Rights - VIVSECTfest held in Novi Sad, from 13th to 19th December 2004, provided to, for the first time at one place, in Serbia, from the perspective of various views (inside and outside) consider causes and effects of conflicts in the territory of the former Yugoslavia in the period from 1991 to 2001. Many tragic
events have been forgotten or denied. The Travelling Festival dedicated to the topic "War on the Territory of the Former Yugoslavia - View from Inside and Outside", though the medium of documentary and photography, provides to initiate public discussion in various communities on events from recent past.
