Photographs as Witnesses of History<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0 The exhibition entitled \u2018The Life of Ileana \u010cura\u2019, within the \u2018Freezing Silence Speaks\u2019 programme that commemorates victims of Novi Sad Raid, was opened in the Art Gallery of the Cultural Centre of Novi Sad. It displays photographs that keep memory and authentic objects of one of the surviving witnesses of tragic events of Novi Sad Raid \u2013 Ileana \u010cura<\/strong>. The exhibition was opened by Aleksandra Mandari\u0107<\/strong>, the advisor to the director of the Cultural Centre of Novi sad and Gordana Todori\u0107<\/strong>, the author of the workshop \u2018The Memories of Ileana \u010cura\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Citizens that decide to visit the exhibition will be able to see photographs that are a short display of life memories and short reminder of an exciting and eventful life of Ms \u010cura, who survived the Novi Sad Raid by a stroke of good fortune.<\/p>\n

\u2013 Here you can see photographs that mark the life of Ms Ileana, whom I had an opportunity to meet last year. The strongest impression during our conversation, for me, was her spirit. The woman who survived that and remained a witness of those events carries in her great love and joy, and she is full of life. It is today that I have seen the photo of the armchair in which she spent that night in 1942, and which is still in her flat, Ileana sits in it and tells about her life. This armchair, one seemingly common object, is actually a witness of history, pointed out Aleksandra Mandari\u0107.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 Gordana Todori\u0107 said that she is interested in meaning, what this exhibition means for us today and what it could mean in the future, because those parts of private photo archive of fellow citizen Ileana \u010cura in the ambience of the gallery become, in a way, part of future history of Novi Sad.<\/p>\n

\u2013 With the willingness to incorporate her intimate \u2018I\u2019 into our \u2018we\u2019, both current and future, professor \u010cura reminded us that this \u2018we\u2019 was already built in past with personal contributions of Mihailo Polit Desan\u010di\u0107<\/strong>, Savka Suboti\u0107<\/strong>, Milorad Sazdani\u0107<\/strong> and her other relatives. This pulsation between \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018we\u2019, which we can also call coexistence, civil consciousness, responsibility towards others or some other way, is basically what makes the essence of a city. If we should learn anything from the life of professor \u010cura, it is her decision to choose humanity in this interaction between \u2018I\u2019 and \u2018we\u2019. This word is not modern, with misuse it gets ironic tone, but if we decide to interpret heritage, and setting this exhibition is exactly that, then self-regulation of autopoetic memory of post canon culture, as Jan Assmann<\/strong> says, enables us to realise those aspects of meaning in words such as human, humanity, humanism that would, if we have some faith in language, ensure that the city, the history of which we shape in this very moment, never again becomes the place where these horrific events can happen, events because of which Ileana \u010cura spent the night between 23 and 24 January in this green armchair waiting for her mother in the parlour, which, just a few years before, a Nobel Prize winner Rabindranath Tagore<\/strong> visited as a guest, added Ms Todori\u0107.<\/p>\n

The exhibition lasts until 25 January.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
