The Balkan Investigative Reporting Network has selected 13 journalists, historians, artists, and activists to receive grants to create small projects based on the archives of the UN war crimes tribunal in The Hague and domestic courts in former Yugoslav countries. The recipients of the grants will conduct research, collect documents, and dig deeper into the courts’ archives in order to produce projects about issues of justice and the Yugoslav wars.
The projects will include journalistic pieces, educational workshops, research papers, a documentary film, audiovisual work, and a visual project. They will explore topics such as gender-based violence, memory, Roma war victims, witness testimonies, war crimes, sexual violence, the experience of women in war, and the role of photography in prosecuting war crimes.
