About

Memory Cultures in Dialogue is a podcast and blog of the Humanitarian Law Center from Belgrade, Serbia.

The podcast and blog oppose the hegemonic narratives about the breakup of Yugoslavia and the wars that ensued. The facts about the armed conflicts that took place in the territory of former Yugoslavia in the 1990s are subject to constant distortion in the frameworks of dominant and state-sanctioned memory politics.

Podcast is available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Podcast Addict and Podcasts.rs.
