ART AND RECONCILIATION - OPEN CALLS AND THE LIVING MUSEUM: INNOVATION, RESEARCH AND THE HISTORY MUSEUM OF BOSNIA AND HERCEGOVINA

该项目以AHRC-PACCS“艺术与和解项目：冲突、文化和社区”项目的研究与合作为基础，特别是以最初的目标为基础：（a）调查艺术和创造性文化做法和物品在冲突后和解、遗忘、记忆和宽恕的过程和结果中的历史和潜力;及（B）发展与特定社区有关并与其合作的创意艺术实践及工艺品。特别是，它将在萨拉热窝的波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那历史博物馆与项目调查员之间建立创新和创造性的伙伴关系。这发生在博物馆共同委托艺术家项目作为项目研究议程的一部分时。在此过程中，博物馆首次向艺术家敞开大门，邀请艺术家对博物馆的角色和藏品做出创造性的回应，并在此过程中为博物馆的藏品带来新的诠释和作品（与仅对现有藏品进行策展诠释形成对比）。这为博物馆保存和保护国家当代和二十世纪末历史，包括1990年代战争及其后果的使命注入了新的活力。拟议的项目将大大加强和嵌入博物馆的作用和生活的这一新方面，维持就业，发展文化生活，促进冲突后和平与安全。在此过程中，它将满足AHRC对影响和参与GCRF重点呼吁的所有三项附加要求，具体如下：i）它将根据联合国可持续发展目标（SDG）的目标，提供重大的文化影响和研究主导的创新（可持续发展目标4：文化对可持续发展的贡献;可持续发展目标8：创造就业以及创造力和创新;可持续发展目标11：保护和维护文化遗产;它还可能偶尔涉及可持续旅游业的可持续发展目标12，创造就业机会和促进当地文化）;（ii）将产生对波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那博物馆具有重要价值的成果，使其能够发挥新的“活博物馆”作用，促进在公开征集委托方面的创新和创造性经验，促进进一步的公开征集委托和展览，以及一系列补充性举措（开放工作室、参与性和社区参与活动），不仅有利于博物馆，也有利于艺术家、博物馆观众和参观者、艺术家（个人和集体）。（iii）该项目是与波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那博物馆馆长Elma Hasimbegovic共同设计的，波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那博物馆是ODA LMIC国家的一个遗产和创意组织，由于其国家博物馆的地位，没有公共资金。博物馆和调查人员将共同实施一项研究和实践计划，带来以研究为导向的新视角。我们将发起一系列公开征集活动，包括委托和展览、开放工作室、艺术家研讨会以及参与社区参与活动和合作活动，邀请艺术家进行创新和创造，为博物馆的角色和藏品带来新的诠释。这将为艺术家和博物馆提供机会和灵感，进行创造性的干预，并加强冲突后萨拉热窝和波斯尼亚和黑塞哥维那的文化景观，促进艺术和记忆的参与。联合项目还将允许进一步研究和发展原项目固有的评价方法和办法，这也将使包括开发计划署在内的一系列供资者受益，开发计划署还就项目设计提供咨询意见。

This project builds on research and collaboration from the AHRC-PACCS 'Art and Reconciliation Project: Conflict, Culture and Community' project, specifically building on the original objectives: (a) to investigate the history and potential of artistic and creative cultural practices and objects in processes and outcomes of post-conflict reconciliation, forgetting, remembering and forgiving; and (b) to developing creative artistic practices and artifacts in relation to, and in collaboration with, particular communities. In particular, it will develop an innovative and creative partnership between Historical Museum of Bosnia and Hercegovina in Sarajevo and the project investigators. This occurred when the museum co-commissioned artist projects as part of the project's research agenda. In doing so, the Museum opened its doors for the first time to artistic intervention, inviting artists to respond creatively to the Museum's role and collection, and in doing so, bringing new interpretations and works into the Museum's collection (a contrast to merely curatorial interpretations of the existing collection). This has given a new strand of life to the Museum's mission to preserve and protect the contemporary and late twentieth century history of the country, including the war of the 1990s and its aftermath. The proposed project will significantly enhance and embed this new aspect of the Museum's role and life, sustaining employment, developing cultural life and fostering post-conflict peace and security. In doing so, it will address all three of the Additional Requirements for the AHRC for the Impact and Engagement GCRF Highlight Call, as follows: i) it will deliver significant cultural impact and research-led innovation, in line with UN Sustainable Development Goals' (SDG) targets (SDG 4 on culture's contribution to sustainable development ; SDG 8 on job creation and also creativity and innovation; and SDG 11 on protecting and safeguarding cultural heritage; it might also contingently address SDG 12 on sustainable tourism, creating jobs and promoting local culture); (ii) (ii) it will produce outcomes of significant value to the Museum of Bosnia and Hercegovina, allowing it to develop its new 'living museum' role, fostering the innovative and creative experience of making an open call round of commissions, facilitating further open call commissions and exhibitions, and also a range of complementary initiatives (open studios, participatory and community engagement activities) that will not only benefit the Museum, but also artists, museum audiences and visitors, artists (individually and collectively). and communities in post-conflict Sarajevo and Bosnia and Hercegovina; (iii) the project has been co-designed with Elma Hasimbegovic, Director of the Museum of Bosnia and Hercegovina, a heritage and creative organisation in an ODA LMIC country, which has no public funding because of its status as a national museum.The Museum and the investigators will jointly implement a scheme of research and practice bringing a research-led fresh perspective. We will initiate a series of open calls with commissions and exhibitions, open studios, artist workshops and participatory-community engagement activities and events in partnership, inviting artists' to innovate and create to bring new interpretations to the museum's role and collection in relation to the history of the country, potentially to be added to the museum's collection. This will offer artists and the museum the opportunity and inspiration to make creative interventions, and to enhance the cultural landscape of post-conflict Sarajevo and Bosnia and Hercegovina, fostering engagement with art and memory. The joint project will also permit further research and development of evaluation methods and approaches inherent in the original project, which will also benefit a range of funders, including UNDP, which also advised on project design.
