The Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Homeland War and the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja

The Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Homeland War and the Day of Remembrance for the Victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja

We marked the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Homeland War and the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja with the exhibition Head down, hands on the back, numerous workshops and a ceremonial lighting of candles in the school yard.

The exhibition is dedicated to all the victims who fought, gave their lives, were brutally killed or otherwise innocently died in the defense of the city of Vukovar in 1991. Hands, as the main motif of this exhibition, symbolize imprisonment, powerlessness, suffering, pain, fear, cry for help and salvation, but they are also a symbol of empathy towards others, support, togetherness, salvation, prayer, freedom, forgiveness... The hand study drawings that are part of this art installation are the works of MYP1, MYP2 and MYP3 students. The author of the exhibition concept is their Visual Art teacher, Ms. Ivana Devernay Cimić.
