“Maps That Move You” is a collaborative initiative led by the Youth Cultural Center Abrašević and its community media, AbrašRadio. The project is dedicated to unveiling forgotten historical landmarks that narrate the evolution of the City of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our primary objective is to rediscover and shed light on neglected facets of the city's history and culture, presenting these stories to the youth of Mostar, as well as to our friends and visitors.
The initial six march routes that we meticulously explored, documented, and mapped out are as follows: Avenue of Socialism, Hum Like a Horseshoe, My Jerusalem, Komadinina’s Transversal, Main Street, and Industrial Zone. Through the narratives of these routes, we aspire to reconstruct the often ideologically distorted storyline of our hometown, inspiring individuals and organizations to delve into their own overlooked urban heritage.
The Youth Cultural Center Abrašević has deep roots in Mostar, dating back to its establishment in 1926 as the Workers’ Cultural and Artistic Society Abrašević. A cultural hub throughout the 20th century, it succumbed to destruction during the conflicts of the ‘90s. However, the youth of Mostar successfully reclaimed and reconstructed it. Today, it stands as the sole independent youth cultural space in the entire city.
The presentation of the “Maps That Move You” project is scheduled for November 25th at 11:00 AM in Anibar in Peja. We eagerly anticipate sharing our insights from this journey and are eager to hear the perspectives of the young individuals in Peja regarding the potential for their own hometown.
“Mape koje Te pokreću” je zajednička inicijativa koju predvodi OKC Abrašević i njegovi medij zajednice, AbrašRadio. Projekt je posvećen otkrivanju zaboravljenih istorijskih znamenitosti koje pripovijedaju o evoluciji grada Mostara. Naš primarni cilj je ponovno otkrivanje i osvjetljavanje zapostavljenih aspekata historije i kulture grada, prezentirajući ove priče mladima Mostara, kao i našim prijateljima i posjetiteljima.
Prvih šest ruta koje smo pažljivo istražili, dokumentirali i mapirali su sljedeće: Avenija socijalizma, Hum kao potkovica, Moj Jeruzalem, Komadinina transversala, Glavna ulica i Industrijska zona. Kroz narative ovih ruta, težimo rekonstruirati često ideološki iskrivljenu priču o našem rodnom gradu, nadajući se da ćemo inspirirati pojedince i organizacije da istraže vlastitu zanemarenu urbanu baštinu.
OKC Abrašević ima duboke korijene u Mostaru, datirajući od njegovog osnivanja 1926. godine kao Radničkog kulturno-umjetničkog društva Abrašević. Kulturni je rasadnik kroz većinu 20. stoljeća, podlegao je uništenju tokom sukoba devedesetih. Međutim, mladi Mostara uspješno su ga vratili i obnovili. Danas stoji kao jedini nezavisni prostor kulturne i mladih u cijelom gradu.
Prezentacija projekta “Mape koje te pokreću” desit će se 25. novembra u 11:00 sati u kinu Anibar u Peći na Kosovu. Raduje nas prilika podijeliti naša saznanja čuti perspektive mladih osoba u Peći o potencijalu njihovog vlastitog grada.
